Teachers registering for vaccination

Teachers started registering for a Covid vaccine on Saturday, the third group to be prioritized after health workers and people over 80. Teachers over the age of 55 and kindergarten, first and second grade teachers will be given priority in the vaccination process.

People aged over 70 will be able to start registering as of Monday, March 1st. The start of registration for these two groups was set two days apart to prevent the system from collapsing.

Over 3,000 GPs are due to get involved in the process of vaccination as of Monday, although some of them say they are still waiting for vaccines and needles.  624,000 health workers and people over 80 have been vaccinated to date, of which 233,000 have received both doses.
