The union wants to avoid the installation of vaccination centers in schools.

Coronavirus: the second wave, the second closure

Later than expected by many, but in mid-November, the Hungarian government also decided to try to curb the second wave of the coronavirus epidemic by introducing restrictions. At the time of the decision, 5,000 new infections had been identified per day and the number of deaths from the virus was mostly between 50 and 100 in 24 hours. The first step is a partial closure, but how effective it is is questionable. Follow our news!

The Teachers’ Union (PSZ) was surprised to see the vaccination plan, as it does not show which category their colleagues belong to.

On Saturday a public information brochure on the vaccination plan was published in the National Center for Public Health, according to which the vaccines will be administered according to the following schedule:

  1. Health workers,
  2. welfare workers,
  3. More than 60 years,
  4. law enforcement officers, employees of public administration bodies who come into direct contact with the population,
  5. people aged 18 to 59 who are at risk for an underlying disease,
  6. critical infrastructure workers,
  7. those aged 18 to 59 who do not belong to the first groups.

The union proposes that those employees in education that involve children, students and parents in contact with broad sectors of society be included in Annex III of the vaccination plan. vaccination category, which currently only includes those over 60 years of age.

According to PSZ, it is easy to see that those in education come into direct contact with the population in the course of their work, and there are also a large number of educators who are “over 60 years at risk of Covid-19 infection.”

The interest group emphasized that it considered the plan to install a vaccination center in polling stations in the event of a mass vaccination appalling, since there are several of these educational establishments that not even parents can currently enter.

At the end of their communication, they also asked that those in education be given prominence in the vaccination plan, that schools are not designated as mass vaccination sites, to protect broad social groups “.
