It should not be required

"WASHINGTON — The Director of the CDC says schools can safely reopen even if teachers are not vaccinated for the coronavirus.

As some teachers’ unions balk at resuming in-person instruction before teachers are inoculated, Dr. Rochelle Walensky says, “Vaccination of teachers is not a prerequisite for safe reopening of schools.” Walensky cited CDC data showing that social distancing and wearing a mask significantly reduce the spread of the virus in school settings.

White House COVID-19 coordinator Jeff Zients called on Congress to pass additional funding to ensure schools have the resources necessary to support reopening."

I believe the CD is wrong on this, and am very disappointed to her Dr. Walensky advocating this

This will come back and bite the CDC. It is not unlike there initial recommendation that "masks" were not necessary when the pandemic first appeared.

There will be push back on this by teachers, and I support the teachers
