Schools will not be allowed to set their own rules on vaccinations for staff and students, with blanket guidelines to be issued instead by the Department of Education.
As the Irish Examiner reports, Education Minister Norma Foley brought a memo to the Cabinet meeting today confirming plans are in place for a full reopening of schools in late August and early September.
Ministers were told that blanket guidelines around vaccinations will be issued centrally by the Department of Education.
In the coming weeks, schools will receive portable CO2 monitors from the Department of Education. These are expected to give schools a “useful general indication” of areas or rooms that may not be adequately ventilated.
