In-person classes canceled as 30 Appomattox Co. teachers, bus drivers suffer side effects from COVID-19 vaccine

Students in Appomattox County got an unexpected day of remote instead of in-person learning today when many teachers and bus drivers suffered side effects from their 2^nd COVID shot. Superintendent Annette Bennett told WLNI that about 100 school personnel got their 2^nd dose of COVID-19 vaccines yesterday,  and 30 them called in sick early this morning.  Experts say many people experience more side effects after the second dose but it’s a normal immune response.   Bennett says while students worked remotely today, in-person classes  should resume tomorrow.   She says two groups of teachers and staff still need to receive their 2^nd doses, and those will be scheduled for a Friday to avoid any more interruptions.
