Educators at Shawnee County schools will start getting the COVID-19 vaccine starting next week if they want it, according to the Shawnee County Health Department. Here’s what the health department has said so far about vaccinating area teachers: K-12 teachers, faculty, food staff, bus drivers and related education staff can get vaccinated starting next week if they want it. The department hopes to have all staff who want it, vaccinated with their first shot by spring break. Teachers and faculty have always been top priority in Phase 2, alongside groups like people over 65. They will be vaccinating these groups together. SCHD will hold a press conference at 1:30 today to explain why are teachers being vaccinated.
