JONESBORO, Ark. (KAIT) - Dozens of teachers from both Westside and Nettleton School Districts filled the gym at Fellowship Jonesboro Thursday, all of them lining up to receive the COVID vaccine.
This comes days after Jonesboro pharmacies were delayed in beginning Phase 1-B of the state’s vaccine rollout plan. Woodsprings Pharmacy received their doses Tuesday, with 975 vaccines distributed between five pharmacies.
Lacey Hoggard, Operations Manager at Woodsprings, says the pharmacy was glad to help teachers and those over 70 when the vaccines started to roll in.
