GALLIA COUNTY Employees at schools throughout Gallia County received their first doses of the COVID-19 vaccine earlier this month.
At Gallia County Local Schools, nearly 60 percent of employees chose to receive the vaccine, according to Supt. Jude Meyers. Based on this number, 165 first does were reserved for the district.
Meyers said the vaccines were administered on Feb. 12 at River Valley High School.
“We’ve recently done another survey, which was directed by the governor’s office, to find out how many people changed their minds after not receiving the first vaccine and now want to receive it,” Meyers said. “Plans are in the works to address that request.”
