RACINE â Local schools, Racine Countyâs two health departments and Ascension All Saints Hospital are working together to ensure that teachers receive their COVID-19 vaccines as quickly as possible.
Educators became eligible for vaccination in Wisconsin as part of Group 1B on Monday, the first day in more than 11 months that most Racine Unified students have been able to return to classrooms. On Wednesday, the first Racine Unified teachers in 1B are set to receive their initial shots.
All RUSD teachers who want to be vaccinated may have begun the two-dose process within three weeks.
Vaccinations for some teachers at private schools in Racine County have already begun being vaccinated, too.

With stroke care available 24/7, 365, Ascension Columbia St. Mary s Hospital, earlier this month, was certified as one of the best in the state to treat stroke patients. Instead of hoping for a great outcome with these stroke patients, we really expect it, said Dr. Daniel Gibson, director of neurointerventional surgery with Ascension Wisconsin.
