More than half of the Pittsburgh Public Schools’ teachers and staff will be at least partially vaccinated by the end of this weekend, following a series of clinics that started this week, district officials said. “This is the end of a pretty fantastic week,” Superintendent Anthony Hamlet said Friday. Rodney Necciai, assistant superintendent of student support services, said 1,419 district teachers and school staff – mostly those in elementary schools, bus drivers and those who work with special education students and English language learners – scheduled appointments to receive the Johnson & Johnson vaccines through the state’s initiative to vaccinate educators. Those clinics, at Pittsburgh Obama in East Liberty, began Thursday and will continue through Sunday.
