State Expedites Vaccines for School Employees
Posted on 01/29/2021
Puyallup School District employees, among other Washington educators and school staff, will be prioritized to receive the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as they are eligible.
The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) announced plans to expedite vaccine distribution for school employees upon entering the next vaccination phase. This rapid and equitable ‘Get Ready’ plan prioritizes school employees to receive the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as they are eligible.
Details of the plan, including logistics and employee verification process, are in development.
“We are thankful that the state supports us in our reopening plans,” said Superintendent John Polm. “Our employees need this. Our students need us. Combined with consistent mask wearing and social distancing, this plan makes it easier for us to continue moving forward in returning everyone to in-person instruction.”
