Several dozen teachers in Italy called in sick from work after Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) vaccines from AstraZeneca left them violently ill.
Students enrolled at two middle schools near Treviso in northern Italy actually had to be sent home an hour earlier than normal because their teachers were too sick to continue educating them.

The worker mandate for the nation's largest school system was set to go into effect Monday, but a judge for the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted a temporary injunction on Friday, and referred the case to a three-judge panel on an expedited basis.
Department of Education spokesperson Danielle Filson told the Associated Press that officials are seeking a speedy resolution by the circuit court next week.

In the U.S., a Michigan school district was forced to close after several staff members had a “negative reaction” to the COVID-19 booster shot. Saginaw Township Community Schools announced on its website over the weekend that, due to being understaffed, schools in the district would be closed on Monday.
““A large number of our staff had a negative reaction to the COVID booster shot given at a voluntary clinic over the weekend,” officials said in a statement. “There is a substitute teacher/staff shortage throughout the state, further complicating the availability to cover those absences.”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration approved booster shots for large swaths of the population last month in spite of recommendations from medical advisers to hold off on boosters.
