How many of them were likely to be vaccinated before then anyway, and is it really worth striking over? If the plan of all adults being vaccinated by September works out, then what difference does it really make? Teachers have no risk for all of the summer months anyway. Am I missing something?

Personally, I think that the Gardai should have been done after/alongside HCWs and I think that Teachers should be after the elderly and medically vulnerable if the Government insist on keeping Schools fully open with full classes 5 days a week with limited mitigation and no masks for older Primary children. Just my opinion. I am a SAHM and Husband WFH both in our mid-late 40s so we will be vaccinated sooner because of this change to the Rollout.

They probably didn't have an internal list of who was frontline and who was admin, and therefore just opened it to everyone. I sincerely hope some journalist has submitted an FOI request to the HSE to require the number of vaccinated individuals who are WFH. I would assume after the Beacon debacle one would have been submitted. It'll take three weeks to get an answer under the legislation.

Everyone should be sticking together. Everyone! But instead people are engaging in the national past time of teacher bashing!

Sammy2012 wrote: » I know of people who as PS office workers who have also been vaccinated. Working from home and in their late 20s and early 30s. This is the type of thing that makes people/ teachers so annoyed. The rollout makes no sense. It's pretty much down to luck in some cases yet we have our local politicians out saying how great they are doing.
SusanC10 wrote: » Thanks. I had read/heard of HSE admin staff being vaccinated but not wider PS admin staff. Tbh, the only people I personally know who have been vaccinated are elderly people and HCWs. I know several people in Group 4 and none even have their 1st dose.

PowerToWait wrote: » Excoriating teachers for wanting to be vaccinated, given their essential status, seems churlish and childish to me. I’ve spoken with 3 people under 50 this past eeek who have been vaccinated, 2 working predominantly from home and if in the office, strictly distanced by metres of empty office space, the other working full time from home. All public servants, no underlying conditions or vulnerability yet fully vaccinated. Where’s the opprobrium for this cohort?

The sequencing isn’t so precise - it all depends on where you are, how quickly your gp filed the paperwork etc. Other countries are managing to say we are in phase whatever now, so it is over 70s, law enforcement and essential retail or whatever. Why do people keep insisting that it any system other than by age is just too complicated. Are we really that stupid?
