Oklahoma to open up COVID-19 vaccine to essential workers, colleges and daycares

[TexasTowelie]

Most Oklahomans will soon be eligible to receive a coronavirus vaccine.

Beginning Tuesday, Oklahoma will expand vaccination eligibility to teachers, students and school staff outside of preK-12, including childcare facilities, state health officials announced during a virtual news conference on Monday afternoon. Staff and students of universities and vocational technology centers are included in that group.

Thousands of essential workers will also become eligible.

The groups join Oklahoma’s growing list of people who are currently able to be vaccinated, such as health care workers, people over 65, those with comorbidities and preK-12 teachers. The newly-eligible groups will kick off Phase 3 of the state’s four-phase vaccine distribution plan.

In Phase 4, all Oklahomans will be eligible.

I am so grateful, teaching college students who do not care about the vulnerable faculty and staff is like working a high wire without a net. He has been in person teaching this semester and it terrifies me. I am older and got my shots last month. We thought it would be summer before he got his shots.
