Cumberland County teachers say they’re ready to take the COVID-19 vaccine because it will help protect their students, their families and the community.
The county Health Department is working on plans to be sure teachers can be vaccinated. Health Director Jennifer Green is holding weekly meetings with educators to be sure they are familiar with how to register to get the vaccine.
Marvin Connelly Jr., superintendent of Cumberland County Schools, said teachers could start getting the vaccine later this month. Health officials think all teachers might have an opportunity to get it by early March, he said.
Whitney Igleasias, who teaches English and language arts to sixth-graders at Anne Chesnutt Middle School, said she will be taking the vaccine. She said she feels a responsibility to her students and to the community.
