STAFF IN Belmont County school districts received their COVID-19 vaccines last week, with health department staff, volunteers and school nurses conducting clinics daily at different sites.
During his Thursday talk, Gov. Mike DeWine said the four-week drive to offer at least the first of two vaccines to all school staff would be met by the vast majority of districts despite snow and ice storms. The overall goal is to have all students back in class full time by March 1.
Belmont County’s school districts have shared that aim and have stressed keeping their students in the classrooms as long as possible. Throughout the week, more than half the staff members in each district were vaccinated. Schools will now look to ways to redress any disruptions in learning this school year.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE Belmont County’s health department received its first shipment of COVID-19 vaccine Tuesday with 300 doses ready to be administered.
Belmont County will use the Moderna version of the vaccine, which does not require ultra-cold storage since those facilities are not available in the county.
“My director of nursing has started contacting agencies,” Deputy Health Commissioner Robert Sproul said.
According to Sproul, WVU Medicine Barnesville Hospital, CVS and Walgreens also are receiving their own shipments.
