Department of Correction employees were given until Tuesday afternoon to get their first shot of the COVID-19 vaccine, a one-month extension on the deadline for all other municipal workers.
Correction officers rushed to change child-care schedules and make other last-minute arrangements ahead of the extended tours, which may be implemented to address a staffing crisis exacerbated by the mandate that went into effect at 5 p.m. Workers who cannot show proof of one dose of the vaccine on Wednesday will be sent home on leave without pay.
