Five cheerful third-grade Boiling Springs teachers shouted with joy after receiving their first COVID vaccine doses at the Cleveland County Fairgrounds Saturday. "You couldn't ask for a better experience to get a shot," said Kathy Miller, one of the third-grade teachers. "They were friendly and made you feel relaxed." Educators started lining up at the top of the hill on East Marion Street in Shelby to get their first doses of the COVID vaccine. Cleveland County Public Health Center partnered with Cleveland County Schools and Pinnacle Classical Academy for the mass teacher vaccination event. The state bases access to the vaccine on how many doses can be administered, said Tiffany Hansen, Cleveland County health director. This event targeted teachers, many of whom recently returned to full-time in-class instruction.
