Great news! We are certainly excited to see that now teachers, school support staff, bus drivers as well as licensed childcare works, among others in the education field, are eligible for the Covid-19 vaccine. Please note this does not change the previously prioritized groups and grouping vaccine scheduled. We have the complete details below:
Texas teachers are now eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine. According to the Texas Department of State Health Services, “those who work in pre-primary, primary, and secondary schools, as well as Head Start and Early Head Start programs (including teachers, staff, and bus drivers) and those who work as or for licensed child care providers, including center-based and family care providers” are now eligible to be vaccinated.

##Press Release in part from City of Texarkana, Texas##
In light of this federal directive, all vaccine providers in Texas are directed to immediately include these personnel in vaccination administration. This action does not change the other groups prioritized for vaccination in Texas, and facilities are encouraged to continue your efforts to vaccinate older adults since the burden of COVID-19 falls so severely on people ages 65 and older.
