FREWSBURG The Frewsburg Central School District is now shifting its focus during the COVID-19 pandemic to getting teachers and other school staff vaccinated.
On Thursday during the Frewsburg Central School District Board of Education meeting, Superintendent Shelly O’Boyle said district officials’ focus has shifted to the vaccination now that teachers and other school personal, which includes board of education members, are eligible to be inoculated.
O’Boyle also discussed how she had a conversation with a CVS official about using the school building to vaccinate all employees who would like to receive the shot, which is not being mandated by district personnel. She said even though school personnel has been allowed to receive the vaccination since Jan. 11, it’s been difficult to make an appointment to receive the vaccination.

Chautauqua County residents will be soon able to receive a rapid COVID-19 test thanks to the health department’s acquisition of Abbott ID Now testing machines. Tests will be available this Tuesday at the Murphy Fire Training Center on Brigham Road in Dunkirk from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and again during the same hours on December 29. Tests will also be available at the Taylor Training Center on Harrison Street in Jamestown from 9 to 2 this Wednesday, and again on the 30th.
Testing is free, but residents must register in advance on the county website. Health department officials expect the tests to be in high-demand, and warn that even with an appointment, wait times may be long.
