Why is it?
If you really cant see that, I’m not going to spell it out for you. I will give you the same courtesy you gave @gilgamboa above.

Gilgamboa started the mockery.
Your response is just typical of a profession who are happy and safe in their nest, and emerge only to complain when they don’t get what they want.
I have yet to see a good reason that holds water, in a national emergency so grave that it has locked down the country and from which we are being told tens of thousands of people are dying, why exactly schools can’t be used as injection sites, and teachers can’t give injections. It happens across the world. We all had our TB jabs given in the back of a draughty classroom.

As I said, post it on a teachers forum if you think its such a great idea. Try boards.ie.
Ah here.
Here you go

Its easy to post your rubbish here. Post your idea on link above, if you have the balls.
“The balls”? To post on boards.ie?
Why on earth would I bother? It’d be the equivalent of going to the alabama chamber of commerce meeting before the civil war, and telling them that the slave trade is a bad idea.
As I thought
Ok mate. Hard to argue with that cold logic.
Is it harder to type on boards.ie?
Read the chain of the conversation again there. And to be honest, I do not belive you or your wife would stand there and watch your kids get vaccinated by a teacher with 5 minutes training

I actually don’t think flattys idea is a bad one. My brothers wife in England is doing a one day training course to become a vaccinator and she’s a hr manager. Online learning at primary level is a waste of time so teachers should be redeployed in a national emergency.
I wouldnt use schools or school buildings though as vaccinations are very divisive and would cause too much negativity from certain parents.
The Cork boys circling the wagons
Just to be clear flattys core argument (which he rowed back on later) was that
A 5 min demo was all that was needed
You’d flake away after this demo in the school
I was a spokesperson for the medical junta
These 5 min trained teachers were better placed to administer the vaccines than dentists or pharmacies
I’m also not aware of any shortage of people to administer the vaccine. The only limitation, if properly organised, is the supply.
Is your friend going to administer the vaccine from home or from in her HR office? Or is she going to do it as part of a team under medical supervision?

Part of a team I think. The general point about redeploying people and rolling it out quicker is a good one. The 5 minute thing and doing it in schools I don’t agree with.
I absolutely assure you that I would, without a thought I trust a teacher to look after and educate my child I simple vaccination is a fairly major step down from this
you brought in the derision when you started yahooing about the post van. I have yet to read on here a single good reason why schools and teachers couldn’t be used to roll out a vaccination plan in a major national crisis I’lll ask herself this evening, and report honestly back.
People in general place far to much reverence and mystique on medicine imho.

Strawman.
I said, and I have not backtracked a bit, that you could teach any reasonable person how to give a vaccine in five minutes. The training around vaccine storage, and what to do in case of a reaction may take a couple of hours, but would likely take a day.
Schools are better set up to roll out an urgent mass vaccination, where social distancing is a necessity, and speed of the essence, than dental surgeries or a pharmacist in the back of quinnsworth absolutely.

Here’s a more interesting question in any case. Should the MMR vaccination be mandatory?
Very unlikely her sons name would be fiachra
