In early December, the Canton Police Department had as many as 16 officers out due to COVID.
And so far in 2021, only one Canton police officer out of the 169 in the department (plus another 53 other city police employees) has been able to get a dose of the vaccine, Chief Jack Angelo said. The one who did was on a waiting list in another county.
Ohio last month decided not to follow federal recommendations to make police officers an immediate vaccination priority, dashing Angelo s hopes of getting his police force inoculated quickly.
With police officers regularly being off sick and higher crime levels, Angelo fears officers forced to work extended hours could burn out. He said he can t put more than one officer in a squad car until the officer and their partner are vaccinated.

An entire school district in Ohio canceled classes on Monday this week after so many of the staff suffered side effects from one of the experimental COVID mRNA injections over the weekend.
Two days after employees were given their first round of COVID-19 vaccinations, the Fairless Local School District canceled classes, attributing it to many developing side effects and becoming ill.
In most cases, as much as 80 percent of the eligible employees are accepting the vaccinations. Medina County schools canceled classes on Friday to allow employees to all be vaccinated on the same day. Other districts are choosing to have their mass vaccinations over the weekends so as not to interfere with classes. (Full article here.)

As more teachers and school employees receive the COVID-19 vaccine, Stark County schools are on alert for possible side effects.
The Massillon City School District has canceled in-person classes on the day after employees in the school building get their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. The students will instead learn remotely.
Superintendent Paul Salvino decision to move to remote learning is a proactive step. I don t have a desire to have to call off school due to a lack of staff and our parents, students and staff not having an opportunity to be prepared, he explained. We have a very sound remote learning plan that our administration and teachers have worked so productively and together on and I am extremely confident in our ability to serve our students remotely when needed.
More than 34,000 Stark County residents have received at least the first jab of the COVID-19 vaccine.
But they shouldn t throw away those masks quite yet. Local health departments are encouraging vaccinated folks to continue practicing social distancing, washing their hands, wearing a mask, and avoiding crowds until more people have a chance to get the shot. The vaccine is not a free pass, said Chris Cugini, communication specialist with the Stark County Health Department.
Even though the county s latest COVID-19 data is promising, this is still a critical time, he said. We realize how difficult this has been for so many people, but we ve all made those sacrifices, and we don t want to ruin those sacrifices we ve made, he added.
