Internal Message - Vaccinations Are Available for Educators
Educators are Now Able to Receive COVID-19 Vaccinations (Registration links are included below)
As a district, we aim to ensure that our staff is aware of the COVID-19 vaccination guidelines as set forth by the federal government, the registration process, and administration sites.
This week, the federal government expanded the vaccination administration eligibility criteria to include Educational and Child Care Personnel in addition to the Phase 1A or 1B criteria, and those with medical conditions as outlined previously by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
This category expansion includes:
- Teachers, including pre-primary, primary, secondary, Head Start, and Early Head Start staff
- Bus Drivers
- Those who work for licensed child care providers, such as staff and support
- Licensed child care providers, including center-based or family care providers
More information is available on the Texas Department of State Health Services’ COVID-19 Vaccine Information webpage.

REMEMBER: You must register to set an appointment. You must have an appointment to receive the vaccination.
