CHARLOTTE, NC – On the verge of getting the vaccine, educators across North Carolina are preparing for their shot on Wednesday.
Governor Cooper issued an order allowing teachers to move to the top of Group 3 of the vaccination plan and receive the shot beginning Wednesday.
“I’m looking forward to getting it. It’s been a long time coming just to ease educators’ fears about being back in person,” said Jessie Molle, a CMS teacher.
She’s getting the shot on Thursday. She and other teachers worked together to get a coveted appointment.
“The phone number was busy repeatedly. The website crashed, so everyone was calling,” said Molle.

A Charlotte-Mecklenburg school board member wants the county s health department to create more detailed reports on where children who test positive for COVID-19 go to school.
When CMS started posting weekly reports on the number of student COVID-19 cases, it seemed pretty straightforward. It hasn’t turned out that way.
The plan was to report cases among students attending in-person classes. CMS started opening classrooms in elementary and K-8 schools but then sent everyone back to remote learning as community cases surged. Student cases continued to trickle in. Some were reported by parents. The Mecklenburg County Public Health Department tracked some to high school basketball teams.
