Almost 32,000 teachers and school staff in Sydney’s west and south-west have been given priority vaccine access amid the escalating COVID-19 outbreak | natassiazc

Year 12 students living in the eight local government areas of concern in western Sydney lined up for vaccines last week.Seven schools have closed for cleaning since Sunday, despite the fact only children of essential workers and supervising staff have been attending in Sydney and other parts of NSW during lockdown.

Year 12 students in non-hotspot areas were officially allowed back on campus in small groups for limited time periods from Monday, but on-site attendance across the education department’s Greater Sydney schools declined. “We are working hard to ensure all colleagues in other areas of Greater Sydney, and across the state, are considered in further priority access programs.”

Dubbo West was closed for the second time since the virus spread west, and on Monday all staff and students were asked to get tested and isolate for 14 days. However, he said limited awareness, logistical issues, transport and an element of vaccine hesitancy could have contributed to eligible students not coming forward.

natassiazc Hi Natassia, can the SMH please pursue a story about prioritising teachers in Dubbo for vaccine? 8 of the 30 school closures are in Dubbo but your article only identified one. Teachers outside of Sydney still not prioritised and that makes communities vulnerable COVID19nsw

natassiazc and what about the other essential workers, bus drivers, garbage collectors etc. We're not that important eh?

natassiazc What about teachers across the whole state? They've let it spread everywhere but only offering protection for Sydney.
