    WHO: To Prioritize Giving Teachers COVID-19 Vaccines

The World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF urged the inclusion of teachers and school staff in the priority groups for COVID-19 vaccinations.

A joint statement issued by the two UN agencies said that essential measures to ensure that schools remain open throughout the pandemic include giving teachers and other school staff the COVID-19 vaccine.

The statement added that the request should be implemented "while ensuring that the most vulnerable populations are vaccinated."

With schools reopening after the summer break, fears of disrupting education again are on everyone’s mind notably with the highly contagious Delta Variant spreading. Hence it has become critical to equip educational institutions with the necessary tools to protect both staff and students.

WHO Director-General for Europe Hans Kluge confirmed that "the pandemic was behind the most disastrous disruption of education in history."
