Teachers and Special Needs Assistants working in a number of special schools in the Wicklow, Dún Laoghaire and Dublin South East areas received vaccinations yesterday from the HSE.
The news comes as the country's three teacher unions demanded a reversal of last week's decision which removed vaccination priority from teachers and SNAs and agreed to take action up to and including industrial action in pursuit of a reversal of the policy.
The teachers were first contacted about vaccination appointments last Wednesday, a day after the Government announced a change to the vaccination rollout schedule.
The change meant teachers and SNAs would no longer be prioritised for vaccination and was greeted with outcry and shock from their trade unions.
