Southern states are seeing a pretty sharp drop off in the pace of COVID vaccinations and the slowness can’t be blamed on supply. In Tennessee, the vaccination numbers on Monday were less than half of the highest days in recent months, with plenty of shots on hand.
Neighboring states like Mississippi are seeing a similar trend, and this is likely the beginning of a slowdown that was expected, state health officials say. The people who really wanted a shot now have it, and convincing those who don’t is getting harder.
Clint Satterfield is the superintendent of schools in Trousdale County and was hoping to increase his vaccine numbers by offering teachers the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which has now been pulled from use for an additional safety review.
The Trousdale County School Board is expected to endorse remaining on the current hybrid schedule for the second semester of the 2020-21 school year.
The Board will meet on Thursday, Dec. 17 at 6 p.m. in the gymnasium at Jim Satterfield Middle School, where a final decision will be made.
In October, board members opted to remain on the hybrid plan for the rest of the fall and said they would decide on the spring semester in December.
At Tuesdayâs work session board members were in consensus that the hybrid model was the best option at this time, especially given the recent rise in COVID-19 cases both in Trousdale County and across Tennessee.
