STEVENS POINT - Teachers and school employees across central Wisconsin will start receiving doses of COVID-19 vaccines next week.
The vaccinations come as school districts throughout the region plan to, or have already, return to full or four-day in-person learning at all grade levels this month or next. Districts in the Wisconsin Rapids, Stevens Point, Marshfield and Wausau areas will hold on- or off-site clinics for their staff next week, with Marshfield Clinic Health System staff administering vaccine doses. Staff in the Wausau School District are scheduling appointments for vaccines through a separate, dedicated process at Aspirus.
A second series of clinics is slated for April, as many of the vaccines allocated for educational staff in the area are the two-dose Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, spokespeople at Marshfield Clinic and Aspirus said.
