How did teachers at private schools end up with extra doses of vaccines?
It begins with extra doses that Northridge Hospital says they had, and offered to San Francisco-area schools in January, including LAUSD, which turned them down.
So, the 100 or so doses went to teachers at Wesley, a K through 8th grade North Hollywood school that charges somewhere between $28,000 and $32,000 a year.
LAUSD said in the statement that they had to check with LA County Public Health. Dr. Barbara Ferrer, in a call on Tuesday, explained to school officials that teachers would probably not be able to get vaccines for at least a week or two.
