As employers
across the United States debate vaccine requirements, the nation’s largest
teachers’ union is weighing in.
The National Education Association (NEA) issued a
statement on Thursday backing the use of FDA-authorized
vaccines for all public school educators.
The NEA said it
has strived to follow the science throughout the pandemic, and that the science
on the vaccines is clear: "They have proven to be enormously effective in
fending off infection and, in ‘breakthrough’ cases, preventing serious illness."
"Evidence
shows that COVID-19 vaccines, combined with other safety measures are the most
powerful weapon we have against the pandemic," NEA President Becky Pringle
said. "We believe that such vaccine requirements and accommodations are an
appropriate, responsible, and necessary step to ensure the safety of our school
communities and to protect our students."
The U.S. is in
the midst of a surge of COVID-19 cases that have been largely driven by the
more infectious delta variant. Like previous administrations, the White House
has rejected the idea of a federal vaccine mandate.
But the Biden
administration has been supportive of employers
who require proof of vaccination from their workers. Companies
like Facebook, Google and United Airlines are among those mandating the COVID
vaccine.
Many entities
have required vaccination but also gave the option for unvaccinated persons to
be frequently tested — a move the NEA expressed support for.
"We also
support regular COVID-19 testing in lieu of vaccination for those not yet
vaccinated or those for whom vaccination is not medically appropriate or
effective," Pringle
said. "We believe that such vaccine requirements and
accommodations are an appropriate, responsible, and necessary step to ensure
the safety of our school communities and to protect our students.
Pringle said 90%
of NEA’s 3 million members have already been vaccinated. But she encouraged
schools to provide appropriate employee accommodations, such as paid leave and
readily available vaccination sites, to those who are not yet inoculated. She
called employee input "critical."
"In order to
ensure that students and educators are able to enjoy safe, uninterrupted,
in-person education, educators must have a voice in how vaccine requirements are implemented," Pringle said. "Educators must also continue
to play an active role in developing other mitigation systems—including
testing, tracing, masking, distancing, hand washing, ventilation, cleaning, and
disinfection."
