Now the school just needs the vaccine nearly 2,000 doses.
“That’s what we’re waiting for,” school Superintendent Roger Forget said Wednesday afternoon.
The plan is to dispense 1,997 first shots in a single day possibly March 19 to pre-K through grade 12 staff in the Bourne, Sandwich, Falmouth, Mashpee and Upper Cape Tech school districts, he said.
“It’s not just teachers. It’s everyone. It’s the bus drivers. It’s the custodians,” said Forget, who worked with state Rep. Steven G. Xiarhos, Sandwich Selectman David J. Sampson and Sandwich fire Chief John Burke to get the state Department of Public Health to approve the school as a vaccination site.
