Some good news for school staff and teachers in the Vancouver Coastal Health region.
The VCH authority plans to make a supply of the COVID-19 vaccine available for all staff in each of the school districts in its boundaries starting on Friday.

The letter says all VSB staff will be eligible to be vaccinated regardless of their role in the district.
