Though teachers in Terrebonne and Lafourche are now eligible for a coronavirus vaccine, getting large numbers of teachers inoculated isn’t going to be a quick process, officials said.
As of Monday, teachers, school-support and daycare staff have been given the green light to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Teachers, school support staff and daycare employees have played a critical role throughout this pandemic and their safety is important to our continued recovery, Gov. John Bel Edwards said Monday. Thanks to continued increases in the availability of vaccine doses to the state of Louisiana from our federal partners, I am confident that now is the right time to continue to expand eligibility.
