CPS Staff Taking ‘Acts Of Desperation’ To Get COVID-19 Vaccines: CTU
Teachers are now eligible for shots, but CTU members say it's not easy to get one.
CHICAGO (CBS) — Alyssa Rodriguez, a social worker at Lozano Bilingual & International Center Elementary School, said some of her colleagues are taking “acts of desperation” to find vaccines or otherwise protect themselves from the virus ahead of next week’s return to classrooms for elementary school students.
“People are staying up until midnight. They are looking to find vaccination sites that they’re driving to, at least 45 minutes away, in order to get a vaccine to make themselves feel safer to be around themselves and their students. People are moving out of their houses. I have staff that have moved out, and they are looking for alternative housing during this time,” she said.
