How is everyone's area doing on the teacher's front as several posters have recently mentioned teachers? Seems more and more schools are choosing to go back to in-person or add the older kids into in-person but I know the other side of the concern with teachers and getting vaccination opportunities for them.
The update I have from my county is that they are continuing on with this week's plan despite shipment delays due to weather for next week's doses..we'll see how that pans out because that could alter the plans.
The teacher update is that the county advises: "Progress includes vaccinating nearly 40 percent of our county’s educators and school staff." which I find impressive given how many there must be. What I don't have is how many wanted the vaccine. Have people seen in their areas roughly how many teachers want the vaccine and if they are eligible now or will be soon?
My sister teaches in Maricopa County Arizona. I believe most districts here have been open since 2nd quarter (October). She was eligible for, and just got her second two weeks ago, vaccinations under Tier 1B priority. While she got hers (Pfizer) through the state, I believe her district had also arranged for their employees to go through the district to get them (Moderna).
