Rejected petition Urgent - Vaccinate Teachers and Get Children Back to School

I am a self-employed Social Worker and have been trying to work full-time and homeschool my son aged 10 throughout times when schools have been closed due to COVID-19 (his father also works full-time away from the home). Our mental health is suffering immensely and I cannot work effectively.

More details

The government need to make vaccinating teachers an absolute priority as a matter of urgency. I have many friends whose mental health has been greatly affected due to trying to homeschool young children and work full-time in demanding roles. This is no longer sustainable and working parents like myself need support and children must return to school imminently.
