Updated Mar 03, 2021;
With educator vaccinations finally in sight during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Massachusetts Teachers Association is pushing to work with the state on the rollout of inoculations.
Gov. Charlie Baker on Wednesday morning announced that starting March 11, K-12 employees, early childcare workers and school staff will be eligible to sign up to get the COVID-19 vaccine. The announcement followed a directive from President Joe Biden on Tuesday for states to prioritize the vaccinations of teachers.
“When educators feel safe, it has a direct impact on students feeling safe,” MTA President Merrie Najimy said during a news conference that was live-streamed.
