The turnaround was quick to get everything ready to vaccinate thousands of teachers.
WMC Action News 5 spoke with a few educators who said they were excited to finally get their first dose.
“I am privileged to not have had COVID19,” said Armani Alexander, a 5th grader at Treadwell Elementary School. So going back into the classroom initially for me was a little bit of ‘I don’t know’ because I was nervous there was just going to be too many kids in the classroom. now that I have the ability to get this shot I think I feel a little bit more comfortable.”
