Six CGSD9 nurses are assisting with the vaccinations:
- Ann Birdsong, Grigsby
- Jeanne Burke, Lake ESSC
- Pat DeZeeuw, Coolidge
- Kim Fulbright, Wilson

Sponsored by the Madison County Health Department (MCHD), educators are receiving the COVID-19 vaccine within the educational pod coordinated by MCHD, District Superintendents and the Madison County Regional Office of Education.
More than 1,000 doses were given on the opening day for educators on Feb. 13.
