TEACHERS are to be considered as a possible priority for the coronavirus vaccine, it was announced today.
Professor Adam Finn, a member of the joint committee on vaccination and immunisation (JCVI), confirmed that teachers would be considered for the next phase of the rollout at a meeting on Thursday.
He said committee members had been instructed to confirm a plan by the middle of February to determine the priority order of who should be vaccinated next.
