A top administrator who received a COVID-19 vaccine before in-class teachers has left educators in Marin County fuming.
The vaccination event at Marin County Civic Center last week went well so well that everyone who showed up got their shot. This left 200 vaccine doses thawed and prepared, with no arms to inject, and if they didn t get used by 4.30 p.m., they would go to waste.
Two county agencies immediately sent out a mass notification to Office of Education staffers, and asked school district superintendents to notify their employees that surplus doses were available. One of those superintendents, Novato Unified School District s Kris Costa who does not work in a classroom traveled to the center and got his shot. This left many teachers and staffers angry and unvaccinated, reports the Marin Independent Journal.
