Toward the end of year in 2020, the COVID-19 vaccination was released.
More than 17.5 million shots have been given in 38 different countries. Although there is still a possibility for people to get infected by the virus even after receiving the vaccine.
According to the Bloomberg, “The U.S. rollout fell short of federal projections as vaccinations proceeded unevenly across the states. The initial round of shots through early January has been doled out primarily through hospitals and other institutional health-care settings.”
Many health care facilities are giving out the vaccines as well as hospitals and health departments.
According to the website, none of the shots, on their own is enough to inoculate a global population of 7.8 billion people. As the shots go out, Duncan Middle School will be giving out shots to teachers who want the vaccine.
The vaccine that will be given out will need to be renewed every three to four years to help keep the virus from affecting them.
Mandy Robbins, sixth-grade resource teacher, said she wasn’t planning on getting the vaccine but could see why others may choose to get it.
“I think it can be helpful to other people,” Robbins said.
Mark Montieth, choir director, said he is planning to get the vaccine, but he didn’t have a comment about how he felt about the vaccine overall.
