• • Guidance and recommendations from the National Center of Disease Control (CDC) and local health officials encourage the vaccination of age-appropriate persons against the COVID-19 virus and its variants.
    

  • COVID-19 vaccinations are available at no cost to all staff, volunteers, and age-appropriate students. DCSD will work collaboratively with the Carson City Health and Human Services to provide opportunities for students and staff to access COVID-19 vaccinations as needed.
    

  • The COVID-19 vaccinations have been approved on an Emergency Use Authorization. As such, Douglas County School District will not require students and staff be vaccinated against COVID-19 to enroll, attend, or be employed.
    

  • In general, people are considered fully vaccinated:

    • • 2 weeks after their second dose in a 2-dose series, such as the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or

      • 2 weeks after a single-dose vaccine, such as Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine
