SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio Independent School District teachers and staff members received Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccines on Tuesday morning.
The clinic, STAAMP Allergy, administered 100 doses of the new COVID-19 vaccine, which received emergency use authorization by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Feb. 27.
“With the Johnson and Johnson (vaccine), there’s 100% protection rate from death in the studies. So, nobody in those clinical trials, even when they got infected with severe COVID, died,” said Dr. Erika Gonzalez, with STAAMP Allergy. “And that is really what the point is right to save lives. And so the Johnson and Johnson is just as good as the other two vaccines.”

SAN ANTONIO – An African American studies course is gradually being incorporated into school districts across the state.
Districts that are already on board include the San Antonio Independent School District, Judson Independent School District and most recently, the North East Independent School District.
A team of historians, professors, and policy makers hope that it will put a brighter spotlight when it comes to black history.
Lawrence Scott, assistant professor of educational leadership at Texas A&M San Antonio, was a part of that initiative.
He said the goal is not just to teach students about civil rights icons, but help them understand the deeper meaning behind their work.
