Walgreens Pharmacy is opening new first dose appointments to K12 employees and child care providers. These opportunities are in addition to the educator/school staff clinics that we will continue to organize.

In addition, the state has announced it will hold vaccination events on March 13 and 14 at Dover International Speedway to vaccinate K-12 educators and child care providers.  Invitations for two drive-thru vaccination events at Dover Downs International Speedway on March 13 and 14 will go out Tuesday afternoon. The Dover Downs event will result in 10,000 doses for child care and K-12 educators and school staff.
