Thursday’s reaction was all the same as San Marcos Consolidated ISD teachers and staff walked into San Marcos High School’s Performing Arts Center to receive their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine — relief.
“I’m thrilled,” said Dyanna Eastwood, who is the head nurse at San Marcos High School and administered shots Thursday. “My daughter is a teacher and I’m thrilled that they can get that now. They need to. We need these kids back in school and we need the teachers and the kids to feel comfortable being here. It’s just a huge step.”
SMCISD previously applied and was approved to be a vaccine provider through the Texas Department of Emergency Management, said Superintendent Michael Cardona. District Director of Transportation Doug Wozniak added that the district is working with the county to function as its own vaccination center.
