JANESVILLE, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin’s Department of Health Services says it’s investigating plans by the Janesville school district to vaccinate its teachers and staff next week, even though the state hasn’t yet moved to the next phase of coronavirus vaccinations.
The school district has canceled classes for next Friday, Jan. 22 so that staff can receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
