With the mass vaccination of school employees set to begin this week, officials are concerned that teachers eager for shots will bypass the special clinics being planned by local health districts and instead schedule their own appointments on hospital websites or the federal portal.
This could result in teachers and other school employees being on two lists both the list for the local health district clinic and a hospital clinic and, ultimately, vaccines going to waste, officials said.
“The last thing we want is for superintendents to upload their rosters and the vaccine gets ordered and you assume everyone will be there the day of the clinic and then a lot of them don’t show up because they figured out how to get vaccinated quicker elsewhere,” said Fran Rabinowitz, executive director of the Connecticut Association of Public School Superintendents.

WATERBURY, Conn. As part of the state s new vaccine plan, teachers and educators are now getting dedicated vaccine clinics.
Those clinics are set to open next week.
Governor Ned Lamont is set to discuss vaccinations for educators today in Waterbury beginning at 11 a.m. In some cases, there will be clinics held in high school gyms for example. In other cases, there are already places set up by the local departments of health, explained Fran Rabinowitz, the head of the Connecticut Association of Public School Superintendents.
