Over 500 Gainesville City School System employees will be vaccinated against COVID-19 by lunchtime Friday. The school system hosted a clinic Friday morning to get their Pre-K through 12th grade teachers and staff vaccinated, following new rules set forth by Governor Brian Kemp last week.
Director of Pre-K Services and Migrant Education Program Donna Allen said she was nervous but pushed through. What really gave me a little bit of comfort was Gainesville City Schools, we ve been immersed in the community really since March, Allen said. We ve really been at work since we shut down. So being surrounded by the community wasn t so much of the anxiety, it was the personal vaccination for me and getting shots! But the most important thing for me was making sure to protect myself, my family, and others that we work with.
Gainesville City Schools employees will be able to get the COVID-19 vaccine next week at a clinic hosted by the school and District 2 Public Health.
That announcement came Monday evening during the school board s work session. The one shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine will be available.
Pre-K through Grade 12 teachers and staff, including substitutes and student teachers, will be able to get the shot the morning of Friday, March 12. While the clinic is dependent on the vaccine supply being available, Superintendent Jeremy Williams said they chose that day to allow for additional days in case of reaction. That Friday will be a teacher work day.
