Interim advice on the priority groups for a Covid-19 vaccine does not include school/childcare workers. Clearly, the groups at the top of the list (care home/health workers, older and vulnerable people) take priority, but school/childcare workers who cannot distance/use PPE should also be included.

Inclusion of school and childcare staff on the priority list would also:
* provide more protection for children and their families
* reduce the chance of settings being closed for 2 weeks and working parents having to take time off work
* ensure continuity of education for children
* allow schools to return to normality faster, having a positive impact on children’s mental health
* reduce the chance of NHS workers having to stay at home with children who are isolating due to closures
