Primary schools to reopen next week

A conservative commentator lambasts teachers who refuse to be inoculated against Covid 19, as primary schools prepare to resume classroom instruction from next Monday. 75 per cent of teachers and nurses have registered and have already received a first dose of the vaccine.

On Mandiner, Mátyás Kohán finds it shocking that there are teachers who do not show up at the vaccination points or reject inoculation outright. Kohán writes that teachers and nurses who registered in March had, by last weekend, the opportunity to get Pfizer jabs, but 15-20 per cent did not show up at the vaccination sites. Kohán believes that such behaviour is not only irresponsible, but also harms the public interest, as unused Pfizer vaccines ‘have to be trashed’. Those teachers who do not realize their responsibility or cannot live up to it are unfit for their profession, Kohán concludes.
