Starting this week, North Carolina teachers and other school staff members can get COVID-19 vaccines.
North Carolina teachers and other school personnel are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine, regardless of age, starting Wednesday. Iredell-Statesville Schools and Gaston County Schools are offering mass vaccine events for employees on opening day.
Both districts have held in-person classes since August, even as other districts in the region relied on remote instruction for part of the school year.
Boen Nutting, communications director for Iredell-Statesville Schools, says that’s one reason her district wanted to make sure employees had a chance to be vaccinated quickly.
