Mandatory Vaccinations

 It has been announced that in order for teachers to work with students in NZ, all teachers need to be fully vaccinated by January 1st 2022. I agree with this for a few reasons. The first being that in general if more people are vaccinated the less lockdowns there will be. The less covid that will spread. Yes, there is still a chance you can catch it but better safe then sorry. 

Another reason is that it is safer for the children the teachers work with. Being in a cramped room is practically begging for a highly infectious illness to spread. Especially if the children they work with can't get vaccinated. The risk of a full school covid is very high if the teachers aren't vaccinated.

My final reason I can think of is that it may encourage parents who aren't already vaccinated. It could make them think that they're endangering their children by not getting vaccinated and exposing them to covid. Therefore getting a small step closer to everyone getting vaccinated.
