Louisiana Educators Want Governor to Elevate Vaccine Priority
More and more Louisiana residents are getting vaccinated against COVID-19 every day. While that is good news on the virus mitigation there are concerns over who is getting the first jabs. I think we are all in agreement that frontline healthcare workers should have a top priority. But after that, the priority rankings leave a lot to be desired.
Larry Carter, President of the Louisiana Federation of Teachers, believes that educators should be ranked at a much higher priority than they are now. Carter along with State Senator Cleo Fields has written Governor John Bel Edwards asking that Louisiana take a page from other state s vaccination protocols and move teachers up in the pecking order.
