The NEIU in Archbald plans to give out more than 5,000 shots. "We think we're well placed with our square footage and the layout of our rooms to administer up to 400 to 500 vaccines per day," McTiernan said. McTiernan thinks they should have vaccines for every teacher who wants one by the end of this month. Then, he says, school districts will be able to focus on bringing students back to school for in-person learning. "The CDC and the governor today have been clear that vaccinations aren't necessarily required to get back to school, but certainly, everyone looks at this situation from their own seat, so removing the possibility of infection to a high degree, I think, alleviates an awful lot of fear, and takes one part of the argument off the table."
