COVID-19 vaccinations for teachers should decrease the number of interruptions to in-school learning, but first, they must get through the state s buggy enrollment process.
Teachers, school administrators, bus drivers, school food service workers, day care staff, and in-person college instructors all became eligible for the shots on Monday as part of phase 1b in New York s vaccine distribution schedule.
