Common Ground Vaccination Update
We are so happy to announce that at this moment 100% of our staff had had their first dose of the COVID-19 Vaccine!
We feel beyond privileged that childcare providers were included in both the priority group 1b and the vaccine roll out through INOVA, which has their process down to a T!
With this update, here are the impacts to the center:
OWLS - Feb 4th, no impact: Liz, LJ, and Victoria are going to get their second shots before the center opens on the 4th, we don’t expect any impact on the Owls classroom that day, as vaccine side effects are reported to begin 8-10 hours after the second dose.
OWLS - Feb 5th, CLOSED: The Owls classroom will be closed on Friday to give Miss Victoria and Miss Liz a day to recover from any possible side effects from their second dose of the vaccine.
HONEYBEES - Feb 12, CLOSED: Miss Mimi, Miss Adella, and Mr. Josh will all be out getting their second dose of the vaccine this day. The honeybees classroom will be closed because the appointments interfere with the schedule of the day.
STARS, MONKEYS, PANDAS, and BABIES - (hopefully) Feb 18 early pick up, Feb 19, CLOSED: We are hoping to get the second dose in the afternoon on February 18th. We will do our best to try to have the smallest impact on the center that we can, but we just don’t know what appointment times will be available.
If you are curious about the process that we went through for our first doses, you can see our post here about it.
