CANFIELD– More than 3,000 school employees from more than 30 local districts and education facilities will receive COVID vaccinations late next week.
The Mahoning County Educational Service Center (MCESC) has been working diligently to coordinate between the board of health, districts, and Giant Eagle’s pharmacy division to make vaccines available for educators in the area as quickly as possible. Schools that have worked with the MCESC to coordinate vaccination efforts will be among the first in the state to vaccinate school staff.
“Our team has been working tirelessly to make this happen for our schools,” said Traci Hostetler, MCESC superintendent. “As with everything in this situation, things evolve quickly, and our team, as well as our contacts at local schools, have had to pivot and change plans at the drop of a hat. This collaboration has resulted in the opportunity for local schools to get vaccinated quickly, which will add another layer of protection
