As more people in Marion County and central Ohio receive the coronavirus vaccine, teachers and other school employees are next in line to get their shot.
Marion City Schools Superintendent Ronald Iarussi announced during a school board meeting Tuesday that employees will receive the vaccine through OhioHealth. The clinic will take place Feb. 24 at the Marion Medical Clinic, confirmed OhioHealth Communications and Media Relations Manager Jill Fazekas. We are very pleased and excited to have OhioHealth as our partner, Iarussi said. They have been outstanding leading us through this process.
Employees will receive the Pfizer vaccine, with the superintendent projecting that more than 70% of staff members will get the shot. The second dose of the vaccine will arrive the week of March 15.
