Thousands of educators get vaccinated at Spectrum Center event

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Thousands of educators were back at Spectrum Center on Saturday to get vaccinated for COVID-19.

Many were there to get their second dose but some got the Johnson & Johnson one-dose vaccine.

“This is something that’s going to benefit the entire nation and our community, so the faster that we all get the vaccines, the better,” said teacher Haleigh Redmon.
