Local school districts have announced their COVID-19 vaccination distribution plans for staff, with the doses being administered during two weekends each in February and March.

The state previously appointed Walmart to be the distributor strictly for K-12 educators in the community.

The first dose will be administered to staff from Owensboro Public Schools, Daviess County Public Schools and Owensboro Catholic Schools over a six-day period spanning two weekends in February. The second dose will be administered on the same days in March. That schedule is as follows: 

  • 1st Dose: Friday-Sunday, Feb. 5-7 and 12-14 
  • 2nd Dose: Friday-Sunday, March 5-7 and 12-14 

Note: Owensboro Times is not including the time/locations of vaccines, as the clinics are open only to school employees and are not open to the general public. 

Communication regarding sign-ups is being sent directly to staff.

Further OPS info
The district will remain on the A/B schedule for the weeks that vaccines are being administered. Any teachers attempting to get the vaccine on a Friday should attempt to sign up for a time slot during their planning period. If a time is not available, they will need to pick a time on Saturday or Sunday. 

Further DCPS info
The instructional schedule for DCPS has been altered as follows for the weeks that vaccines are being administered to school staff:

  • Virtual Academy students: No change. 
  • Group A students: Monday and Tuesday, in-person. Wednesday and Thursday, hybrid. Friday, digital. 
  • Group B students: Monday and Tuesday, hybrid. Wednesday and Thursday, in-person. Friday, digital.
