INDIANAPOLIS â Starting Monday, teachers, school support staff, child care workers, bus drivers, administrations and substitute teachers of any age will be able to get COVID-19 vaccines.
On top of that, more Hoosiers with chronic or serious medical conditions will also become eligible to get shots as vaccine distribution widens across the state.
Indiana State Department of Health Chief Medical Officer Dr. Lindsay Weaver announced the expansion as part of her weekly update on vaccinations.
After focusing on age-based distribution since opening to the general public in January, Indiana is now planning to offer vaccinations to the first occupation-based group.
Holcomb and state officials have been taking heat for weeks from teachers groups and schools for not prioritizing education staff as other states have done, stating that age has proven to be a much greater risk factor for serious illness or death that occupations that may have larger risk of exposure.
