A principal and a group of staff members from the North Kansas City School District showed up last week at Truman Medical Centers without appointments, demanding to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, according to an internal email sent to employees at North Kansas City School District staff this week.The unnamed principal and other staff members indicated to hospital staff the district sent them for the vaccine, according to the email.The district said Sunday it made the decision to shift vaccine distribution to its on-site locations when all staff are eligible.KMBC 9 Investigates obtained two separate district emails from a source who wished to remain anonymous. KMBC 9 News is also working to learn the identity of the principal and staff members and if they actually received the vaccines."The poor behavior of some is jeopardizing this tremendous opportunity and service," according to the district email. "Communications have been very clear. This act blatantly disregarded the process that had already been expedited."The district is now switching to a strategy to vaccinate staff at on-site district locations, according to a separate email that went out this week. The email warned that North Kansas City Schools employee should not attempt to "drop in" at the TMC vaccine clinic, citing the value of the district's partnership with Truman Medical Centers.KMBC 9 Investigates received statements from both Truman Medical Centers and North Kansas City Schools.Statement from Truman Medical Centers:"Truman Medical Centers/University Health remains committed to vaccinating our patients, first responders, educators and community members who are eligible under MO guidelines (we're currently at phase 1b, t2). We understand that there is a great, anxious demand for inoculation against this awful virus. We've had several people in groups who mistakenly believe ours is a walk-in clinic. We are only vaccinating individuals by appointment only." Statement from North Kansas City Schools: "NKC Schools is working tirelessly to arrange for vaccinations for all staff who elect to participate as soon as Missouri approves Phase 1B Tier 3 (critical infrastructure). One such opportunity to accomplish this goal is through our valued partnership with Truman Medical Center."Plans are in motion to provide on-site district locations for convenient vaccine distribution for our more than 3500 staff members. Unfortunately, there was confusion on the part of a few of our staff members regarding current eligibility for vaccines at Truman Medical Center and the matter is being dealt with internally, as it didn't reflect the culture and values of NKC Schools. The district made the decision to shift vaccine distribution to our on-site locations when all staff are eligible. We value our partnership with Truman Medical Center and will continue working together to provide health care for our staff."KMBC is working on this developing story.
