HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Approximately 300 Houston ISD employees received the first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine Saturday as district leaders plan for teachers to eventually be included.
The vaccinations were given to workers who were pre-approved and included educators 65 and older with certain medical conditions, school police officers, nurses and clinical staff.
At Thursday night's HISD board meeting, administrators said nurses at schools across the district were starting to get their COVID-19 vaccines and would be trained on how to administer doses.
Interim Superintendent Granita Lathan said the district was working closely with the Houston Health Department to coordinate a rollout plan.
