On Monday, Gov. Tim Walz announced teachers and school staff, childcare workers and those who are 65 years old and up will be able to get the COVID-19 vaccine. It will be made available through a pilot program.
The decision comes a month after the Governor announced elementary schools across the state will be allowed to go back to in-person learning on Jan. 18.
Teachers who work for St. Paul Public Schools are pushing back against the decision, urging the district to delay until more educators and staff can be vaccinated.
“I think there s a lot of fear and uncertainty,” said Jeff Garcia, a sixth grade special education teacher.
