The Anderson County and Oak Ridge school systems are administering COVID-19 vaccines at events Friday for teachers, staff, substitutes and bus drivers.
“To have this available to our teachers will help them feel supported in their efforts to get back to their classes and return to more normal circumstances,” Holly Cross, supervisor of Career Readiness and Communications, told The Oak Ridger.
“It’s getting the vaccine to folks as quickly as possible and in a way that doesn’t inconvenience them,” Ryan Sutton, communications and public relations coordinator for Anderson County Schools, said in a phone interview. He said it would also help establish herd immunity.
