FAYETTEVILLE, Arkansas — Even though there aren’t enough doses to go around, hundreds of teachers and school employees have been lucky enough to get their first doses of the Covid-19 vaccine this week across Arkansas.
On Friday (Jan. 22) Fayetteville educators lined up at a drive-thru clinic to receive theirs.
“It just feels like a weight lifted off my shoulders that I’m a little more protected. I’ll still wear my mask and keep others protected but just the opportunity for a vaccine is great,” said Jodi Mears, a fifth-grade teacher at McNair Middle School.
