Most public schools in Missouri are having in-person classes to some degree, often in settings where social distancing is not possible. Teachers argue they should be a higher priority given their risk of exposure in crowded classrooms. Show Less

They are the most important part in all of our children's lives when it comes to their education. And I'm sick and tried of teachers getting the short end of the stick all the time. They are very much under appreciated way to much. It's time to put them first for once for god sake.

They are essential workers and the amount of people they come in contact with everyday could really spread the virus quickly, or increase the number of people/teachers needing to quarantine thus also leading to school teacher shortages.

Children are the least likely to transmit the Covid-19 virus. The teachers are no more essential than those at Taco Bell or Mc Donald's.

Missouri leaders say the state's plan is meant to help the most vulnerable -- people over age 65 and those with certain health conditions -- by giving them priority. Teachers are next in line after those groups. Show Less

All workers right now should be able to get the vaccine. Teachers shouldn't take priority over everyone else who's working in a physical sense right now. Factory workers, grocery store workers, cab drivers, custodians, teachers, & all workers should get it at the same time.

I do not have faith in the vaccine

The coronavirus vaccine supply continues to grow, with two new vaccines possibly on the horizon. Meanwhile, cases in Mid-Missouri and statewide are on the decline.

Not because of the vaccines cases were going down before that. Nothing shut down when the flu was buzzing around.

Despite the good news, there's still plenty of bad. New variants of the virus are creating worries about vaccine efficacy and case rates remain high.
