Rejected petition Offer COVID vaccine to all teaching staff now that children are starting to return to school.

With children now returning to the classroom, although they do not appear to be affected by COVID, they may still carry the virus. Therefore the vaccine should now be rolled out to all teaching staff, in readiness for all children being back in school.
