After months of waiting their turn to roll up their sleeves, 12 to 15 year olds are now eligible to receive the Pfizer vaccine.
Many states will be using schools to get this portion of the population vaccinated.
WDIO spoke to Proctor, Duluth and Superior Public Schools about their plans to vaccinate students.
At Proctor Public Schools, efforts to vaccinate students 16 and up were underway Wednesday. Superintendent John Engelking said the district hopes to extend these efforts to 12 to 15 year olds as soon as Thursday with the CDC’s latest announcement.
“We’re excited to offer this opportunity for parents and for the community. Certainly, we’re a community school and we want to make sure that we get back to normal as soon as we can and fighting this pandemic with a vaccine is certainly one way to do that,” Engelking said.
