Benefits of Getting a COVID-19 Vaccine

The CDC are continually updating their website with COVID-19 information. This page in particular focuses on the benefits of getting the vaccine:

Early childhood educators are now in phase 1-B and can start signing up to get the vaccine now.

To help you navigate this, here is the current list of approved pharmacies:

Please note that some places have an online signup option and some you have to call for appointments. There won’t be enough vaccine available for everyone at first, but the pharmacies are set to get additional supplies each week and will work to make it available as quickly as possible.

If you go to a pharmacy and they are fully booked, we suggest calling another pharmacy in your region and seeing if you can get onto their waiting list. The waiting lists may already be long, but if you can get on one that may be your best next step.
We encourage you to share local information with other providers that you know and we will continue to seek out more information and share it with you as and when we get it.

As always, please consult your own doctor first if you have any questions.
