When Will COVID-19 Vaccine Be Given To Strongsville Teachers?

STRONGSVILLE, OH — The Strongsville Schools are scheduled to receive their first shots of COVID-19 vaccine during the week of Feb. 8, state officials announced.

"The Strongsville City School District has taken the necessary steps, as outlined by the Governor's Office, to have our teachers and staff ready to receive the COVID 19 vaccination," a Strongsville Schools spokesperson said.

School districts around Ohio were offered a chance to vaccinate all teachers and staff, if they agreed to reopen by March 1. While every teacher should receive at least the first part of the COVID-19 vaccine before their buildings reopen, the second shot could come after in-person classes have resumed.

“This rollout schedule is a heavy logistical lift that aims to ensure the maximum number of people can be vaccinated in the shortest amount of time," Gov. Mike DeWine said.

Many Cuyahoga County schools are slated to begin receiving COVID-19 vaccines starting the week of Feb. 8. DeWine's office said most teachers will receive their first vaccine within seven days of their assigned vaccination date.

Teachers and staff will learn about their vaccination clinics through district administrators, the state said.
