Enraged West Virginia educators speak out after vaccine distribution changes
CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (WV News) — After an announcement from the West Virginia Department of Education regarding vaccine distribution to school employees Thursday evening, educators and service personnel are taking to social media to voice their anger with the announced changes.
