KNOX Co., Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) Earlier this year, Knox County health leaders discovered they had more than 1,000 doses of leftover vaccine after vaccinating all local healthcare workers and first responders.
So they decided to vaccinate local teachers who wanted a COVID-19 vaccine; however, the state hadn t made teachers eligible at the time. They indeed were not happy. But at the same time I felt it was the reasonable thing to do,” said Knox Co. Health Officer, Dr. Alan Stewart. “We did not do it knowing we were not supposed to do it. We thought we had permission to do it.
The Indiana House will soon weigh in on whether teachers need extra steps to authorize union dues taken from their paychecks, but it comes after the bill passed the Senate in an unusual way.
