(WTOC) - Teachers and staff from several Savannah private schools joined together Friday to get their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. The school community was included in the expansion that started this past Monday. Several schools who started in-person learning in August got their first shot of the COVID-19 vaccine. They say it is a day they’ve been waiting for. “It makes me so very proud that we are able to do this for our teachers and it make me so proud of our community for saying that teachers matter and that this is so important,” St. Vincent’s Academy President Mary Ann Hogan said.
