2/3/2021

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools is committed to providing COVID-19 vaccines to our employees as soon as possible. Challenges with the vaccine supply have made that a difficult task. Thanks to a partnership with Novant Health, the district was able to schedule appointments for as many as 165 employees ages 65 and older.

These vaccines will be given Saturday, Feb. 6 at McClintock Middle. This clinic is only for employees age 65 or older who pre-registered. The district hopes to be able to open opportunities for more employees soon.

"We remain committed to advocating for student-facing staff to receive access to the vaccine as soon as possible," said Superintendent Earnest Winston. "This is the first of hopefully many opportunities we will be able to provide to our employees."
