AObChairman Eugenie Stolk to ministers. 'We therefore argue in favor of giving education staff priority when using a vaccine.'
A vaccine should never become mandatory, but should be made available as a priority to those in education who want to receive it. “Teachers have to keep working under complicated circumstances. If you ask them to, it makes sense that they are given priority in vaccinations, ”Stolk explains.
