Teachers and other school staff should be required to be vaccinated.

While children being very ill as a result of the coronavirus is extremely unusual, instructors must be vaccinated in order to keep schools open and provide an extra layer of protection for their kids, particularly those who are immunocompromised or ineligible for the vaccination. Vaccine mandates for adult employees, on the other hand, have taken a long time to reach classrooms.

It seems reasonable to require teacher vaccinations for reasons other than the obvious protection they provide against this terrible illness. "School employees have been the source of many campus epidemics," according to research conducted over the last year. Countless preventable diseases have resulted from these epidemics among unvaccinated instructors. In August, a Delhi School Staff who had not been vaccinated infected half of the kids in their class. The first school in Delhi to close this year was due to a staff-only infection. Quarantines and school closures are often associated with outbreaks and diseases. Schools are being closed as a result of unvaccinated teachers & Staff.

Teachers who have been vaccinated not only reduce their own and their pupils' chances of developing COVID, but they also lessen the need for quarantines, which are the most inconvenient COVID protective technique. Pupils and classrooms across the country are being put into quarantine, disrupting a much-needed school year for students who have been absent for 18 months.

Vaccine-resistant teachers, cafeteria workers, and bus drivers, for example, could face a workforce scarcity. However, based on the recent experience of Delhi's vaccination requirement, once everyone has had their say, they will go on and get vaccinated.
