Confusion reigns as to who is administering vaccines to teachers, staff March 8, 2021 at 10:01 PM EST - Updated March 9 at 7:25 AM
Greg Loumanis is a science teacher at Osceola Creek Middle School. He said once he and several other teachers confirmed their eligibility for COVID-19 vaccinations, they quickly made appointments. He said the group was also quickly denied. They were uninformed that anybody working for a school, regardless of their position, could get the vaccine, and I was turned down after 30 minutes in line, he said.
Recently, President Joe Biden urged states to vaccinate pre-kindergarten through 12th grade teachers and school staff. He asked for at least one dose to every teacher and staff member by the end of the month.
