PUSD Increases Push to Get Children Vaccinated

PUSD is continuing its push to have as many students and employees as possible become vaccinated and to show proof. Following the recommendation by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that 5-11 year olds get the COVID-19 vaccine, PUSD have finalized plans with the Pasadena Public Health Department (PPHD) for District vaccination clinics.

PUSD Vaccination clinics for 5-11 year olds only are planned for November 22, 23, and 24 from 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. at the McKinley School Gym, right across the street from the PUSD Education Center. Appointments for these dates are limited and can be made through myturn.ca.gov. Please use the same site to find a community vaccination clinic for students who are 12 and older.

PUSD aim to offer opportunities for the first dose before Thanksgiving and the second dose three weeks later which will allow students to be fully vaccinated before they return from winter break.

In order to provide a safer reentry to school after Thanksgiving, PUSD is also offering free COVID-19 testing to all PUSD staff and students on Saturday, November 27, from 9:00am – 1:00pm at the PUSD Education Center, south parking lot. No appointment is necessary. Results will be received within 24 – 48 hours after testing. Please enter the south parking lot from Oak Knoll Ave.
