Updated 2/16/2021 6:24 AM While school systems of similar size are struggling to secure coronavirus vaccines for their teachers, Elmhurst Unit District 205 has been able to inoculate its workforce at a faster pace. More than 50% of employees have received at least one dose of the vaccine, according to informal data gathered by the district. Staff members are not required to report whether they have been vaccinated, a district spokeswoman said Monday.
In other DuPage County districts, teachers are still waiting for their shots amid tight supplies, resulting in an uneven distribution of vaccines for educators who are currently eligible in the second wave of inoculations.
