Global News published this video item, entitled “”Book as quick as you can”: Premier says 1.7 M Albertans eligible for COVID-19 vaccine | FULL” – below is their description.
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney and Education Minister Adriana LeGrange are providing a COVID-19 update on the rapid testing program in schools on Saturday afternoon.
Alberta Teachers’ Association president Jason Schilling said the Alberta government has made schools being open a priority, and that it also needs to make those who work in schools a priority. He said he wants the province to provide additional support, whether it’s through more PPE or added cleaning measures. But most importantly, he wants all teachers and school staff to be vaccinated.
“We’ve seen rising cases in the community, we are seeing an increase within schools, we are not seeing the government take any action towards making the plans stronger to vaccinate teachers in those schools. So to see a rise in cases, and an inaction by government, is concerning,” Schilling said.
“Ultimately, teachers want to be with their students at the school, and working with them at that capacity.”
