Thousands of Pittsburgh Public Schools teachers now vaccinated

PITTSBURGH — Nearly 3,000 out of 4,600 Pittsburgh Public Schools teachers and staff members have now been vaccinated against COVID-19.

The district got an additional 1,500 doses, and officials said every employee who wanted a vaccine has been able to get it.

1,400 staff members are set to get the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Thanks to a special shipment from Giant Eagle, another 1,500 got the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine.

“Giant Eagle realized they were getting an additional shipment of vaccinations and they wanted to get in line with Pittsburgh Public Schools and the City of Pittsburgh. It’s only through those types of partnerships that we are able to make those things happen,” Mayor Bill Peduto said.

PPS is scheduled to open on April 6 for in-person learning.
