Teachers in Indiana have been pushing Gov. Eric Holcomb to prioritize them for the vaccine.
As News 18 previously reported, a new federal program bypasses those state guidelines and allocates doses reserved for educators directly to Walmart, Pay Less and Meijer pharmacies.
At least one local chain, Pay Less, is completely booked and is not accepting new appointments, according to its website. Almost on the verge of tears after hearing that we could get our vaccines on Wednesday, says Andi Hipsher, a teacher at West Lafayette Jr./Sr. High School.
