In a 24-hour period, four educators in Broward County, Florida, died from Covid-19 related complications, officials said. At least three were unvaccinated, a teacher’s union president said. The vaccination status of the fourth isn’t yet known.
"Within a 24-hour span, we had an assistant teacher pass away, a teacher at her school pass away, an elementary teacher pass away and another teacher at a high school," Anna Fusco, president of the Broward Teachers Union, told CNN affiliate WFOR.
The school district is using funds to incentivize staff to get vaccinated, Osgood said."But there are a lot of people that have still not gotten the vaccination," she said."And it is becoming a deadly thing for them not to be vaccinated." "You need to get vaccinated," Osgood said."This disease will kill you or leave with you a lifelong complication that not only impacts you but also impacts your family and the people that you love and care about.
