We ran a COVID-19 vaccination clinic this week at Issaquah Middle School, and it was a big success! Hundreds of staff members were able to receive the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine.
The vaccine will help protect them and the community, and it will help us safely get more students back into our schools. Thank you to all the staff and volunteers who have made this clinic possible!
