More than 200 Columbia Public Schools employees eligible for the first round of vaccine
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
As vaccine distribution continues across Mid-Missouri, a small group of Columbia Public Schools employees are able to sign up for a shot.
A spokeswoman for the district confirmed that 216 employees are now able to sign up to receive a vaccine from Boone Hospital. Those eligible are school nurses and special education staff with medically fragile students in-person.
In an email to teachers, the district said Boone Hospital has 150 vaccine doses available for that group right now, so not everyone in the group will be vaccinated right away. Employees who can receive the vaccine have been notified.
