Teachers at the Wesley School, a private school situated in Los Angeles, received the first dosage of the coronavirus vaccine despite the standards of the county’s health department.
” Lots of parents have actually revealed concern for the wellness of our teachers in these tough times,” the school stated in an email sent to moms and dads on Tuesday.
” For that reason, we wished to share that through a special program for necessary employees and teachers, all Wesley staff members who wanted to be immunized had the ability to take advantage of a deal last week and get their first dosage,” the email continued.
The school’s success in obtaining the vaccine for its teachers contradicted Los Angeles County’s vaccine policy. The county is presently immunizing only healthcare workers and those over the age of 65.
Barbara Ferrer, the Director of the Los Angeles County Health Department, said in a Tuesday instruction that it would be another 2 to 3 weeks before instructors would be eligible for the vaccine.
Los Angeles is presently experiencing a vaccine shortage and five of the area’s COVID vaccine sites, consisting of Dodger Stadium, temporarily closed as a result.

” When the health center alerted us that the vaccine was offered, some of our instructors scheduled appointments and got the first dose of the vaccine,” the school included.
Public school parents were distressed that the private school teachers were able to obtain the vaccine before other teachers.
The public schools of Los Angeles Unified School District turned down the medical center’s deal for the vaccines due to issues that it went versus the health department’s guidelines.
