With the state now allowing teachers to get COVID-19 vaccines beginning Monday, officials with Oak Ridge Schools have been preparing how to give them.
Bruce Lay, Oak Ridge Schools executive director of school leadership, said the Tennessee Department of Health pre-approved Oak Ridge Schools to receive COVID-19 vaccines for staff.
The state has announced that kindergarten- through 12th-grade teachers and child care workers will be eligible for vaccines beginning Monday.
However, Lay said the school system was waiting to learn when it will receive the Moderna vaccines for the events the school system has planned.
