JANESVILLE, Wis. On Thursday night the Janesville School District announced that there would be no school next Friday to allow 1,300 district staff to get a COVID-19 vaccine through Mercyhealth.
But the Wisconsin Department of Health Services said teachers are not eligible to get vaccinated yet. Still, the school staff are planning to get vaccinated.
“Per Mercyhealth, the district is still on schedule to receive vaccinations next week as yesterday’s release indicated,” said Patrick Gasper with the School District of Janesville.
The state is still working to vaccinate the 1A population, which includes healthcare workers and nursing home residents and staff.

The Rock County Public Health Department is planning to offer COVID-19 vaccinations to unaffiliated health care workers, four weeks after vaccinations became available.
Delivery of vaccine is not going as smoothly.
Vaccinations are being rolled out in a cumbersome phased system, and states such as Wisconsin are complaining they donât know far enough in advance when theyâll be getting how much vaccine.
While the vaccines were being developed, state and local officials had months to scheme about how the vaccine should be distributed, to whom and in what order. All of that was figured out a long time ago, right?
Wrong.
The vaccine is being distributed in Wisconsin to Phase 1A recipientsâfrontline hospital staff and nursing homes. Thatâs about a half million people, state officials estimate.
