Teachers, nurses, principals and other school staff from Centre, Clearfield and Clinton counties began arriving at Mount Nittany Middle School at 8 a.m. Saturday for a special COVID-19 vaccine clinic. Employees received Johnson & Johnson single-dose shots that Governor Tom Wolf earmarked exclusively for K-12 school employees and childcare workers.
The State College Area School District Operations Director Randy Brown said hundreds have scheduled appointments during the four-day clinic.
“Many of our folks have already received a vaccination through the various clinics in the community or their medical providers, but over the next several days we re going to have a much larger number that received the vaccination and we re very excited about doing that, Brown said.
