LAFAYETTE COUNTY, Ark. (KSLA) - The state of Arkansas remains in Phase 1-B COVID vaccine protocol, which includes teachers and those age 70 or older. Progress is apparently being made but not fast enough for those giving the shots.
On Tuesday, Jan. 26, Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson said progress is being made with the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine and says the state as a whole is doing good. However, at People’s Drug Store in Stamps, Ark., evidence of the progress is not readily seen.

LAFAYETTE COUNTY, Ark. (KSLA) - Arkansas has expanded its service to those wanting to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. And leaders in one rural ArkLaTex county say they are prepared to keep up with the state’s endeavor.
Lafayette County School District is a small district in southwest Arkansas with around 80 teachers and 500 students, but this district is leading the push for school personnel receiving the COVID-19 vaccination.
Robert Edwards, superintendent of Lafayette County schools, was among the first educators in the county to get the shot.
