The plan to get Massachusetts schools fully open for in-class instruction has taken a major step forward.
Bay State teachers will be eligible to make an appointment to get a COVID-19 vaccine starting a week from tomorrow, Governor Charlie Baker announced Wednesday.
Baker said teachers and other people who work in education can start signing up for a vaccination in Massachusetts on March 11.
Earlier Wednesday, the CVS website listed teachers as being eligible to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
“We’re aligning with updated Federal Retail Pharmacy Program guidelines by making appointments available to pre-K through 12 educators and staff and childcare workers in all 17 states where we currently offer COVID-19 vaccines, including in MA and RI,” CVS said early Wednesday.
