I'm responding to this proposal. I can't speak for anyone else. Oh, I understand- I was merely hoping to determine the origin of the conversation rather than any of the specific points discussed. I’m genuinely curious if this was sparked by anything more than one story, or if there are actually wider-spread plans to accelerate teacher vaccinations. Both. Was Janesville a trial balloon? MPS also sent an email to all personnel, called a mistake soon after, and corrected. Was it really a mistake, who knows. We do know there's plenty of time to reallocate the vaccine going to Janesville teachers, but last I heard they're still getting it. It's as simple as saying sorry, no you're not getting it. Not as long as healthcare workers and nursing home/ assisted living residents are still waiting. As Machu said, yes teachers are essential workers. And, for the record, no I never said or implied all teachers are 28 and healthy. Anyhow, I will be watching 1B to see if factory workers or Kwik Trip workers get kicked behind teachers. Especially the 75+ age group. They shouldbe at the top of 1B. 1B will essentially be cut into many groups as batches of vaccine arrives. Should it be all/ mostly teachers in the first groups? No, not when the risk of dealing with children is so much smaller than most other work places. Should go to 75+ first, and anyone high risk of any age, any occupation. That "high risk" has potential to be abused, and would have to be defined. But that population should be next, not young healthy teachers, factory workers, truck drivers, or anyone else. I would change essential workers to 1C I guess, to make it simple.
