During SMCISD's April 19 meeting, Doug Wozniak, the district's director of tranportation and safety, updated officials on staff's latest vaccination plans.
So far, roughly 800 SMCISD staff members have been vaccinated, and another 1,000 vaccinations overall have been administered as part of a series of mini-clinics held at San Marcos High School.
"We're averaging anywhere from 75-150 a week, with a Thursday or Friday 1-3 [p.m.] slot," he said. "We've helped out the Baptist Academy by taking care of their staff. We've done all the local day cares."
Now district staff members are working with the Texas Department of Emergency Management and local firefighter organizations to vaccinate SMCISD's 16-, 17- and 18-year-old students with the Pfizer vaccine.
"Of course, time is of the essence, because of the way we're doing it," Wozniak said. "The Pfizer has a three-week [window of time needed from the first shot to the second shot], so we're looking at if we can't make it happen this Friday, then possibly the Friday after."
Wozniak said as long as the plan stays on that timeline then eligible students should be able to be vaccinated prior to summer break. He added that 18-year-old students do not need parent or guardian permission to receive the vaccination, but 16- and 17-year-old students will.
