COVID-19 vaccination of teachers begins today
Hon Fahie was at the time speaking in a radio interview with ZBVI 780 AM, shortly after taking his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at the Theresa Blyden Capoons Bay Clinic in his electoral district.
“I know that the Minister of education has assigned and worked out for Thursday and Friday. I believe all teachers [will] take theirs so that they can be vaccinated and help reduce any risk of the COVID-19 so that we can work on getting the children back into school full time,” he said.
The Premier said while getting vaccinated will bring no guarantees, “at least it will reduce any spread of the COVID-19, especially to schools and protect our teachers and our children.”
Vaccination now paves way for full school reopening
Further, Premier Fahie revealed that vaccination of teachers was one of the main focus regarding the full re-opening of schools. He noted that should all teachers volunteer to get vaccinated by Friday, the education systems would benefit.
“It would…help them to restore confidence in educational systems for persons to come out and go to school full time,” Hon Fahie said.
The Premier expressed gratitude that VI’s active confirmed COVID-19 cases stand and zero and he also thanked all frontline personnel who took the vaccine thus far, calling it a boost for the local economy.

A bunch of hoopla when you can still contract COVID AND TRANSMIT after being vaccinated. This government is something else...Always some story and excuse to cover up poor planning and failed approaches.
I can’t tell you that you shouldn’t take it.
It’s a personal choice.
I spoke to her , after 3 today and she said that she still feeling sick so much so she did not work today and she is frontline worker.
I think it affects everyone differently, she was and is the family genea pig, so now most of the others are blatantly saying no to taking Jim Jones leftover tainted kool-aid.
And I hope your sister recovers as well as Joe.
Bill Gates, changing your DNA, tracking devices, 5G - you lot have serious issues. Maybe it's the cat paintings causing COVID19..!
As it stands, the quickest way to get our country going again, get jobs and tourism money coming in is to have a vaccination population and fully open up without the danger of overwhelming our small covid emergency facility. If we let people in, there will be cases but if we are mostly vaccinated, the effects on each of us should be mild to nil. If we are not, there could be a lot of deaths not only from the virus but also from people in hospital taking up resources blocking folk with other medical needs.
Makes no sense taking it at all.
All vaccines that was made protecting us from not getting whatever.
This rushed off one is not.
You take it as a healthy person to become unhealthy.
A healthy person will get over the COVID flu.
How many was hospitalized here?
In fact they was at home recovering peacefully.
In fact some didn’t even know they had it.
In fact they say it’s asymptomatic.
But now this vaccine is going to only protect you from being overwhelmed by the virus .
Who listened to Biden’s speech today ?
He said to Americans now that plenty are vaccinated don’t let your guards down the cases could very well
Rise again.
Please continue social distancing wearing of mask sanitizing of hands etc.
You must ask yourself what is really the purpose of this vaccine.
Why not give the vulnerable since they at risk why the entire population?
