The three teachers' unions have written a joint letter to the Department of Education seeking an "urgent meeting" in relation to the rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine.

The Government recently decided to change the Covid-19 vaccination programme to an age-based system, after the most medically vulnerable, healthcare workers and over-70s were inoculated.
