1. All school staff (so not just teachers, cleaners, etc too) will be covered, regardless of age
2. Both public and private schools qualify
3. @healthza says between 550 000 and 580 000 staff need to be vaccinated.

3. When do the jabs expire?
@healthza says = 11 August (the FDA and Sahpra have approved an extension from 28 June to 11 August), but the aim is to try and vaccinate school staff within 10 days.

4. The education department will schedule school by school to special vaccinations sites and arrangements will differ from place to place depending on the logistics.
