Back to online learning in New Orleans as virus increases
Associated Press— Louisiana pharmacy phone lines and websites were inundated Monday with people seeking the coronavirus vaccine, after the state unveiled the list of 107 pharmacies that will begin offering immunizations this week for people 70 and older. Though the state’s list had eight Albertsons pharmacy locations listed as offering the vaccines, visits to the scheduling website for each location showed no available times to book appointments this month. At Arcadia Family Pharmacy, Wayne Nash said the store hadn’t yet gotten its vaccine doses Monday, but already had received hundreds of calls by mid-morning seeking immunizations. Even though this week’s appointments were expected to quickly fill up, Mills encouraged people to keep reaching out to pharmacies: “Call your local drug store. And if they don’t do vaccines, your local pharmacist can point you to a pharmacy that does.” Also Monday, the education officials in New Orleans announced that public schools will go back to “distance learning” this week because of rising COVID-19 cases in the city.
