Calls to extend the priority Covid-19 vaccination list to include police and teachers have been backed in Suffolk.
Police and teaching representatives said both should be given appropriate priority after the most vulnerable and frontline NHS workers.
Suffolk Police Federation said it was important for officers protecting communities to be properly screened from the virus.
Meanwhile, a teaching union also reiterated calls for increased testing capacity for staff and pupils.
Suffolk Police Federation Secretary, Ben Hudson said officers had put in a Herculean effort to keep the country safe and the pandemic under control while putting themselves and their families at increased risk of infection.
