LPS Staff: Important COVID-19 Vaccine Update

LPS Staff,
The Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department (LLCHD) will begin vaccinating groups of Lancaster County school staff starting next Saturday, March 6. In the next couple of days LLCHD will email links to registered staff eligible for the upcoming vaccination clinic. The link will include the information necessary to schedule an appointment for the clinic.  You must have an appointment to attend the clinic and receive the vaccination. If you schedule an appointment for the clinic it is imperative you attend at your scheduled time. Below is the information they asked us to share with you:

On Saturday, March 6, from 8:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department will be vaccinating school staff who were identified by schools as those who work with mask-exempt students, and registered educators who are 61 years of age and older. The clinic will be held at the Lincoln Center for People in Need, 3901 N 27th Street. Each eligible person will receive a link to schedule their appointment at the email they provided when they registered. Registered Early Childhood -12th grade educators are defined as any employee or staff member of an Early Childhood -12th grade public, private or parochial school in Lancaster County.

Registered Early Childhood -12th grade educators are those who registered on the LLCHD website link provided by the school district earlier this month.  If you did not register you will not receive a link to schedule an appointment.

Here are some resources from the LLCHD to help you prepare for the vaccine:
