Worcester educators union wants to work with city, district to rollout COVID vaccination for teachers and school staff
Updated Mar 03, 2021;
Though educators in Massachusetts have gotten the green light for COVID-19 vaccinations, it is unlikely that many teachers and school staff in Worcester will be vaccinated before hybrid learning starts this month.
Worcester students with the highest needs and New Citizens Program students start learning in-person four days a week on March 15, two weeks before all other students who are partaking in the hybrid model are slated to return to classrooms two days a week.
Gov. Charlie Baker announced Wednesday that K-12 employees, early childcare and school staff are eligible March 11 to make an appointment to get the vaccine. That news was considered a victory in the education community, though it may be weeks before many school employees can get a shot.
