New Jersey educators welcomed the news on Monday that they will finally be eligible for COVID-19 vaccines starting March 15, a move that Gov. Phil Murphy said should put all schools on track for reopening by the fall.
Educators and unions have clamored for the vaccines, with some saying they were reluctant to return to classrooms until they get them. Currently, about one-third of public school students are in all-remote districts, Murphy said Monday. As we continue to work toward seeing all of our students back in their schools, ensuring full access to vaccines for their educators is a big step to take, the Democrat said. It’s not a magic wand, it’s not the only step, but it is a big one.
