Petitioner submission of 22 January 2024 PE2072/B: Offer covid 19 vaccine boosters to teachers and school staff I had tried to word this petition so that it would not be unnecessarily complicated by party political or constitutional issues, however, the response from the Scottish Government doesn't leave much choice. And my comments here contain no new information as such, as the inadequacy of the JCVI advice (which the government response ignores) is clearly implicit in the reason for the petition: it is precisely because the JCVI advice has proved inadequate to prevent transmission in schools, as seen in recent surges (and the ensuing Long Covid cases) that we should be offering the latest vaccines to school staff (and college staff: I should have included them in the original wording as the transmission vectors are so similar).
