On Monday, teachers from two Pulaski County Elementary schools received their first dose of the vaccine.
Staff from every school in the division could be vaccinated by the end of the week.
“It was very easy. You go in, you give your paperwork, you sit down, they give you the shot. It wasn’t very painful at all,” explained fifth-grade teacher Linda Boadwine.
Since so many essential workers fall within the Phase 1B vaccination category, New River Health Director Dr. Noelle Bissell expects it to take some time.
