Updated 1/29/2021 11:17 AM Algonquin-based Community Community Unit District 300 received COVID-19 vaccinations from the Greater Elgin Family Care Center, which it started distributing Thursday, Superintendent Fred Heid said. Staff at Neubert and Eastview elementary schools received the first 120 vaccine doses, Heid said. An email was sent to the staff of both schools, with registration done on a first-come, first-served basis.
An additional 120 doses of the vaccine will be administered Feb. 4 to staff from Hampshire and Gary D. Wright elementary schools. The decision to vaccinate staff at Neubert and Eastview first was based on the class sizes and programs offered at the elementary schools, said Anthony McGinn, the district's spokesman.
