It still baffles me why teachers, grocery store workers etc are not able to book #COVID vaccines yet in Alberta.
Frontline essential workers are part of Stage 2 according to recommendations by NACI. Frontline is defined as: “having direct close physical contact with the public”
So to hear Premier Kenney say that he is basing decision on “scientific advice”, I am not sure this is accurate.
See attached figure by NACI.
Teachers, grocery workers are in “direct close physical contact with the public”. #abhealth#abed#ableg
We are not asking a 25-year old healthy teacher to be ahead of a 65-yr old senior with chronic medical conditions.
We are asking to have them be on par with each other, as teachers/grocery workers are frontline essential workers, as per scientific advice of NACI. #abhealth#ableg

For many different reasons, it is important that our kids can return to school. And there are countries who have done so safely and successfully.
But there are several practical things to consider when our kids are going back to school. A long thread of questions on #covid :
2. If a teacher tests positive for COVID19 they will have to quarantine for at least 10 days. What does that mean for the kids they teach?If they teach 2 classes of 20 kids each.All 40 kids would have to quarantine for 10 days too #covid19@DShepYEG@AdrianaLaGrange@CMOH_Alberta
