Staff at Jackson County Public Schools looking forward to COVID-19 vaccination got a welcome surprise last week when an impromptu clinic on Jan. 22 vaccinated 313 people who work for the school system.
“This got put together on very short notice,” said JCPS Director of Human Resources Kevin Bailey, Ph.D. “On Wednesday (Jan. 20) the hospital reached out to us and said, ‘Hey, we’ve got 350 doses of the vaccine that have to be gone by Monday of next week, and can you guys take it?’ We said, ‘We’ll do whatever we’ve got to do to be able to take it.’”
