He explained that sixty rapid supply teachers have all been called in and that more may well be taken on. These replacements have to take into account when teachers tested positive and their isolation periods. Monday data for teachers were from Sunday and for positive cases over the previous seven days.
At present, he said, there have been no special issues in schools, but accepts that these could arise if more teachers test positive. The greatest difficulties, he noted, would be with supply teachers for vocational training.
Morante described as "worrying" the percentage of children under 12 in the Balearics who have been vaccinated, the lowest in Spain. He didn't know the specific reason for this; it was something for the health ministry to explain. He stressed the importance of accelerating the vaccination of children.

Why vaccinate children? I do not understand this if Omicron will infect everyone anyway - and children have the most minimal symptoms (if any at all). I am truly stumped by the statement that vaccination is the key for children? Could anyone provide some studies that are showing otherwise - I am all ears but I have poured over 100's of journals now and none of proved any support for this tactic.
How dose it work in Mallorca do they just not show up do they need a letter from a doctor ???
