Unvaccinated teachers will be barred from school grounds from tomorrow

And some schools may decide to bar unvaccinated parents as well.

All education staff in contact with children must have at least one dose of the Covid vaccine by end of today or they lose their job.

Lincoln High School principal and Canterbury and West Coast Secondary Principals Association vice president Kathy Paterson says parents do not fall under that category.

However, Waimairi School in Christchurch is one that's said only vaccinated people will be able to enter school buildings other than the office.
