St Feckin’s PS in Ballygawley has notified parents who received at least two Covid vaccines that they are barred from competing in the parents’ race at the sports day next year, due to complaints from local non-vaccinated residents who claim their friends’ limbs grew over an inch each since the jabs were issued.

Although top scientists are refusing to confirm the larger limb syndrome, governors in the school have acted quickly to bar the vaccinated parents, with other local primary schools to follow suit before long.

One teacher, who wished to remain anonymous, confirmed that she has been able to reach the cereal cupboard in her house ever since she received her second dose, having previously stood on a stool or asked her tallest son to grab it for him. The tallest son can now touch the ceiling, having had two boosters.

Principal Steven Kinhead (48) confirmed:

“Yes, we are barring any parents who have received at least two jabs. I know of about ten people in Ballygawley who have longer legs now and it simply isn’t fair. The high jump competition was a farce last year.”

There will be a race for vaccinated parents but it will not be timed and no medals will be given out.
