This webinar is open to all stakeholders working with child care and early childhood programs across the country. There is a maximum capacity of 5,000 people for this webinar, but the recording will be available on demand after March 12 to those who register. Please register as soon as possible and submit any questions for presenters in advance to the email address below.
The following staff and teachers will be eligible:
- Family child care providers (including URM and UC care provider organizations and RFCCMED participants)
- Staff at child care centers (including URM and UC care provider organizations)
- Head Start and Early Head Start teachers and staff
- Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade teachers
To help states accomplish this goal, there are two avenues for obtaining vaccination for school and childcare staff.
First, states have been directed to make school staff, Head Start staff, and child care workers eligible at all available vaccination locations.
Second, the
Federal Retail Pharmacy Program is prioritizing vaccinations for school staff, Head Start, and child care workers during the month of March. Starting on March 8th, people who work in child care centers, family child care homes, and Head Start and Early Head Start programs are able to sign up for an appointment at over 9,000 pharmacy locations participating in the federal program nationwide.
In order to reach our goal to get all early educators and staff their first vaccine by the end of the month, we need your help. While we will be doing all that we can to get the word out to communities, your direct communication to your staff providers and grantee participants letting them know about this Presidential directive and how to get vaccinated will be key.
Thank you very much for your help in getting the early childhood community vaccinated.
