MADISON, Wis. SSM Health says it plans to start vaccinating teachers in Dane County early next week.
The announcement comes a day after Public Health Madison & Dane County said plans for a mass vaccination site for teachers at the Alliant Energy Center were delayed due to a shortfall in vaccine supply. PHMDC reportedly requested roughly 14,000 doses for the effort.
SSM Health, however, said they have the supply to start vaccinating teachers next week while still having enough vaccine supply to continue vaccinating other eligible groups. Roughly 20% of the provider’s incoming vaccine allotment will go toward teachers, according to a news release.

“Anything that’s dealing with equity or racial diversity or race relations need to be vetted by somebody before those posts are made because you can’t continue to have these types of mishaps,” Johnson said.
During the conversation, Johnson said he gave several pieces of advice and requests for the district going forward. Johnson also recapped what Saron’s response was:
