Educators’ Support for COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates Is Rising Dramatically

https://www.edweek.org/leadership/educators-support-for-covid-19-vaccine-mandates-is-rising-dramatically/2021/09

That’s up from 27 percent when the EdWeek Research Center last asked educators about vaccine requirements in June.
