LOMPOC, Calif. Teachers from across Santa Barbara County made the drive to Lompoc Valley Medical Center on Thursday to receive their COVID-19 vaccination.
It s a step towards fully and safely reopening schools, and for many teachers it also brings a sense of relief.
Jessica Villasenor, a teacher at Olga Reed Elementary in Los Alamos, was one of the first in line to get her vaccine. I think it was just an anxious waiting game for this of us who really wanted to get vaccinated before we re back in the classroom, she said , I think this gives a lot more piece (of mind) about returning in a safe way.
