The National Education Association (NEA), the largest teachers’ union in the United States, on Thursday said it supports mandatory vaccination or regular COVID-19 testing for educators as students return to classrooms for the new school year.

NEA President Becky Pringle said her organization, which represents 3 million public school employees, needs to “follow the science” since the beginning of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic and believes that vaccines are “most effective” in preventing infection of the virus.
