The province first announced on March 18 that teachers would be vaccinated under its essential worker program. But that plan was changed multiple times as the province repurposed its AstraZeneca supply and made changes to eligibility. Teachers, among other groups, were left in the dark about when they may be getting the shot. Recent efforts to vaccinate teachers in the province have been primarily in the Lower Mainland, at hot spots in the Vancouver Coastal and Fraser health regions. Even now, as Interior Health promised to send information to the school district, skepticism remains. "We're not holding our breath on this one because, in April, we heard there was going to be priority vaccinations for K-12, but nothing materialized," Macpherson said.
