"I got a chance to speak with two administrators who were, as they say, hit by a Mack truck, so it's certainly hit some people, but it looks like it's doing what it's supposed to be doing."Hillsboro-Deering High School officials posted a notice on their website about the sick calls."Sorry for the late notice but Hillsboro-Deering High School is closed today, Monday, March 22, 2021, due to staff shortage. A large number of staff members received their COVID vaccines yesterday and many are reporting feeling very ill. There will be no remote or in-person learning for the high school today."In Hopkinton, 30 staffers stayed home with symptoms after getting shots on Sunday.Concord schools were closed Monday after district officials say several staff members called out sick. To make up for the lost day, Concord students will report to school Wednesday, which was a scheduled flex day. In Bow, schools remained open, but more than 50 staff members called out."Today was a tough day," said Bow Superintendent Dean Cascadden. "We'll get through it, but it was a tough day."An emergency alert was sent to parents asking them to keep middle and high school students remote if they could. For the students who did report in person, arrangements were made."Is it a perfect day of school? No, but we were able to cover and be open for the students that really needed us to be, especially because of the late-breaking nature of this," Cascadden said.Superintendents in Bow and Hopkinton said they hope to be fully operational Tuesday.** Town-by-town COVID-19 case data **--Multiple New Hampshire schools were closed on Monday after hundreds of teachers who received the COVID-19 vaccine called in sick.A regional vaccine clinic was held Sunday at the Steeplegate Mall, where teachers from several districts received the one-dose Johnson &amp; Johnson vaccine, also known as the Janssen vaccine.AdvertisementMany people who get the COVID-19 vaccine report feeling mild to moderate symptoms, including headache and chills, in the days following their shot, especially if it’s the final dose.&gt;&gt; "I got a text last night around 10 from our high school nurse who said three or four teachers last night were already feeling under the weather, and that heightened my awareness if we were going to be able to handle school today," said Hopkinton Superintendent Steve Chamberlin.Chamberlin said those calls kept coming, leading him to cancel school."By the time I made the call, we were upwards of 25, and then I heard another five after I made the call, so we were more than 30 around 6:15," he said.
