Covid-19 vaccine: Give priority to teachers to protect students


KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Teachers should also be given priority as recipients of the Covid-19 vaccine as they spend the most time with students when schools are in session.

Education expert Dr Ismi Arif Ismail said the earlier announcement was that children and teenagers aged 18 and below would not be given the Covid-19 vaccine for the time being as frontliners and senior citizens would be given priority due their risk in getting infected.
