THANKS FOR JOINING US AT SIX... I'M SHANNON ROYSTER. FIRST TONIGHT -- MANY ARE áOUTRAGED -- AFTER A PRIVATE SCHOOL IN SAVANNAH RECEIEVED THE COVID-19 VACCINE.... SAYING THEY FEEL THE SCHOOL CUT THE LINE. OUR DANAE BUCCI JOINS US NOW LIVE TO EXPLAIN HOW IT HAPPENED. DANAE? SAVANNAH COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL HELD A VACCINATION CLINIC FOR FACULTY LAST WEEK... BUT AFTER THE SLOW STATEWIDE ROLLOUT... SOME THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD TO WAIT IN LINE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. GENIE // UNABLE TO GET VACCIN IT'S JUST VERY FRUSTRATING AND WHAT CAN YOU DO. AND THEN YOU SEE OTHER PEOPLE GETTING THEM AND WONDER, HOW DID THAT HAPPEN. THE SLOW COVID- 19 VACCINATION ROLLOUT ... LEADING TO WEEKS LONG WAITS FOR PEOPLE IN PHASE 1- A. GENIE // UNABLE TO GET VACCINE IT JUST SEEMS A BIT UNFAIR THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN THIS PRIVATE SCHOOL STAFF IS VACCINATED THAT SCHOOL IS SAVANNAH COUNTRY DAY...WHO TOLD US IN A STATEMENT THAT STAFF WHO ARE IN THE STATE'S 1-A CATEGORY WERE VACCINATED ON CAMPUS FRIDAY... FREE OF CHARGE...WITH NO WAITLIST. GENIE // UNABLE TO GET VACCINE WHETHER THEY'RE IN 1A OR WHATEVER IT'S STILL FRUSTRATING FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO CAN'T GET IT NO MATTER WHAT WAITING LIST YOU'RE ON OR HOW LONG YOU'RE ON IT. SKIDAWAY VILLAGE WALK PHARMACY AND COASTAL CARE PARTNERS DISTRIBUTED THE VACCINES. SCOTT PIERCE // COASTAL CARE PARTNERS THEY REALLY JUST ASKED. AND THAT'S IT. AND WE'RE HAPPY TO WORK WITH ANY SCHOOL. THE LOCAL PHARMACY AND CARE GROUP SAY THEY PLAN TO EXPAND ON WHAT THEY DID FOR COUNTRY DAY. SCOTT PIERCE // COASTAL CARE PARTNERS THE MORE THAT WE CAN SPREAD THE VACCINE AROUND, HAPPY WE WERE ABLE TO VACCINATE THE 1A PEOPLE AT COUNTRY DAY. AND NOW WE'RE READY TO START HELPING THE OTHER ONE'S WE'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH. IN A STATEMENT... SAVANNAH COUNTRY DAY SAYS THEY WERE PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER ON-CAMPUS COVID-19 VACCINATIONS AND ASSIST IN THE OVERALL VACCINE ROLL-OUT FOR THE STATE OF GEORGIA BUT FOR GENIE... THE WAIT CONTINUES TO GET WHAT COULD BE A LIFE SAVING SHOT GENIE // UNABLE TO GET VACCINE EVERYBODY SEEMS TO BE CONFUSED AND FRUSTRATED AND TRYING TO GET A VACCIN THAT WILL SAVE LIVES AND GET US PASSED THIS PANDEMIC INCLUDING ME. AND 80 DOSES WERE MADE AVAILABLE TO SAVANNAH COUNTRY DAY... WHICH IS ABOUT ONE THIRD OF THEIR FACULTY. RILEY... BACK TO YOU. DANAE... IS COASTAL CARE PARTNERS OFFERING THE SAME DEAL TO OTHER SCHOOLS? THAT'S RIGHT ... THEY'RE GOING TO TRY AND ROLL IT OUT FOR FIVE OTHER LOCAL SCHOOLS... PUBLIC AND PRIVATE.. SO THEY CAN DO VACCINATION CLINIC
