Teachers in all U.S. States are now eligible for vaccination, but there is still some confusion

Tue, 2021-03-09 11:17 — mike kraft

NY Times:

Teachers in all U.S. states are now eligible for vaccination, though there is confusion in some states.

As of Monday, all K-12 educators nationwide are officially eligible to be vaccinated against Covid-19, though the situation is more straightforward in some states than others.

President Biden had urged states last week to make vaccinating teachers a priority, with a goal of “every educator, school staff member, child-care worker to receive at least one shot by the end of the month of March.” Mr. Biden said all teachers should be able to get vaccinated starting March 8.

Despite push to reopen schools, teacher vaccinations are not being tracked

Fri, 2021-03-05 09:52 — mike kraft

Teacher vaccinations go untracked amid school reopening push The national rush to vaccinate teachers in hopes of soon reopening pandemic-shuttered schools is running into one basic problem: Almost no one knows how many are getting the shots, or refusing to get them. States and many districts have not been keeping track of school employee vaccinations, even as the U.S. prioritizes teachers nationwide.
