Covid-19: Special school teachers 'forgotten' in vaccine rollout
In Northern Ireland, it is an 'insult' that the Stormont executive did not vote to vaccinate all special school staff, according to the National Association of Headteachers. A special school teacher has also told BBC News NI she felt 'outrage, disappointment, fear and frustration' at the decision. Special schools in Northern Ireland have been open for all pupils since the start of January. Only a limited number of staff are to be given priority for vaccination. That will include some of those working in the direct care of clinically vulnerable children. Education Minister Peter Weir claimed the NI Executive had been 'reluctant' to hold a vote on a plan to vaccinate all special school staff.
