In fact, it's something he's vowed to make happen in his first 100 days. Doing that means following the guidance of health experts and making sure educators are vaccinated, but with states calling the shots on, well, COVID-19 shots, some teachers have struggled to get a coveted appointment. And when it comes to other child care workers, like daycare employees and nannies, vaccine eligibility is one big question mark. COVID-19 vaccine rollout began with limited distribution, with health care workers and residents of long-term care facilities prioritized first, but it was ultimately up to states to decide when, exactly, educators could receive their shots. While some states did group teachers with other essential workers to allow vaccinations on the earlier side of things, getting an appointment has proven tough and, depending on where they live, not even an option for many. Without a real master vaccination distribution plan, many child care workers like nannies and daycare staff have been left out in the cold.
