According to Secretary of Health and Human Services Marylou Sudders, about 25,000 appointments would be available exclusively for educators at the seven sites.
"All other vaccine providers, including regional collaboratives, are encouraged, but not required, to restrict their appointments to K through 12 educators, childcare workers, and K through 12 school staff on these days," Lt. Governor Karyn Polito said at a news conference when the dates were announced.
