Chicago Public Schools Announces Vaccination Plan Set For Mid-February
Vaccination eligibility will expand to school staff and other employees in frontline essential roles beginning on January 25 in phase 1b.
CHICAGO (CBS) — “CPS expects to begin receiving vaccines directly in mid-February, at which point it will begin a multi-month effort to offer vaccinations to eligible staff,” officials stated in a written release.
The district said it has partnered with several healthcare organizations to provide vaccines over the next two weeks for approximately 1,500 staff who work in healthcare roles, and already are eligible for inoculations under Phase 1A of the city’s vaccine plan. CPS said there are enough doses available for all eligible Phase 1A staff who haven’t yet received a vaccine on their own.
