Several different groups are now arguing that they deserve priority in the vaccination queues, for example teachers and policemen. Each group can put forward a good reason why they should be prioritised, but how is the government to decide? I suppose it depends on which angle they are coming from - put the most vulnerable first or put essential workers first? I'm glad I don't have to make that decision.
Very happy to receive a phone call yesterday from my GP's surgery inviting me to go for the jab next Saturday. This is because I'm one of the older age group, by the way.
It is very difficult to decide who should go first in the list....
whilst I appreciate that those in the older groups need protecting... if we want the children to get on with their education, after all they will be the people earning and supporting the country with taxes in the future ,
I do feel that we have an obligation to vaccinate all teachers so they’re able to get on with their jobs and allow parents to get back to work...after all if they’d wanted to be teachers they’d have trained in the first place.
There are going to be thousands of children whose education will suffer enormously because perhaps the home situation will not be able to assist whereas more affluent children will continue to prosper...
But I’m still of the opinion that professional footballers are not near the top of the list!
I wouldn’t want their job either!
I’m pleased to hear you will be getting your vacation next Saturday...
