"The partnership between Baltimore City Public Schools and Johns Hopkins Medicine to provide our educators and school staff with the life-saving vaccine is a tremendous example of what we can accomplish when we work together,” City Council President Nick J. Mosby said. “And there is no more noble cause than to keep the heroes who work in our schools safe while they teach, protect and nurture our children.
