Mayo-Brown: Educators soon eligible for COVID vaccine
Susan Vaughn
Supt. Meg Mayo-Brown on Wednesday told the Barnstable School Committee Wednesday that Pre-K through grade 12 educators would be eligible for COVID-19 vaccination appointments starting on Thursday, March 11, based on a new mandate from Gov. Charlie Baker.
“We feel our educators are essential workers,” Mayo-Brown said. If the Cape can get enough vaccine, she said, the town will help set up local clinics for the educators, noting that the biggest problem is if the vaccine supply doesn’t meet the demand. She encouraged school personnel also to look for appointments for the vaccinations wherever they could find them. Baker said there may not be enough vaccine to get all school staff vaccinated by the end of March.
