Teachers and other school staff may start getting vaccinated for the COVID-19 virus by February, and the Kentucky Department of Education wants districts to prepare rosters of staffers who want the vaccine. Teachers, administrators, and support staff all are eligible to get the vaccine but there may be a limited number of doses available to start with, so the education department suggests each district prioritize its roster and put higher-risk employees first. The department also suggests districts conduct surveys to find out who wants the vaccine. The surveys would be voluntary but only those who respond will be eligible for the first round of shots. The rest would have to wait until it is available to the general public.
