JANESVILLE, Wis. – Healthcare system Mercyhealth went against state and local guidelines to vaccinate teachers from multiple Rock County School Districts, according to Rock County Public Health.
Vaccines for teachers began Friday Jan 22, with staff from the School District of Janesville getting a chance to get the shot.
However RCPH said this plan was never mentioned to them ahead of time, despite a representative from Mercyhealth sitting on a newly formed county vaccine advisory committee. Since then, a representative with RCPH said there has been no contact between Mercyhealth representatives and local health officials.
