Nearly 80% of school staff and childcare workers have received at least a single dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, CDC says.

Reading School District teacher Rebecca Titus gets a Covid-19 vaccination shot in Reading, Pa., on March 15.Nearly 80 percent of school staff members and child care workers have received at least a single dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, bolstering President Joe Biden's efforts to reopen schools shuttered by the pandemic.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Tuesday that about 8 million teachers, school staff members and other child care workers had gotten their first doses by the end of March. A federal push to give such workers priority access to vaccines"paid off and paved the way" for a return to in-person education, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said in a news release.

"CDC will build on the success of this program and work with our partners to continue expanding our vaccination efforts, as we work to ensure confidence in COVID-19 vaccines," Walensky said.

That's a good start. But what about the children? If the B117 variant is prevalent, they are likely to get infected and may show symptoms in much higher numbers. And infect the whole family. B117 is much more infectious and causes more severe cases esp. in younger people.

We will not be going out of our homes until the entire population is vaccinated. WeWillBeFree
