SPOKANE, Wash. Spokane Public Schools has been vaccinating its eligible teachers. The district has been using some of its high schools to do that in the evenings.
“I think they’re finally seeing that light at the end of the tunnel,” said Becky Doughty, the health services director with Spokane Public Schools.
Doughty is the guide holding that light. She and her nursing staff have vaccinated roughly 900 district employees with the help of other health partners. She’s hoping they can get a mass vaccination clinic soon.
“We’re hoping in the future, in the next few weeks, maybe, to be able to have like an all day clinic where we can vaccinate 1,700 people,” she told 4 News now.
