With unexpected access to doses of the new Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, the Palm Springs Unified School District quickly put together a vaccination clinic for district staff and teachers Wednesday.
It is the first of what the district hopes will be several clinics to help vaccinate its nearly 2,500 staff members. While other districts in the desert are also planning clinics, the PSUSD clinic came as a bit of a surprise.
“Rite-Aid in Desert Hot Springs reached out to us over the weekend and said they had 200 doses that specifically have to be allocated to educators, and would we be interested,” said Joan Boiko, coordinator of communications and community outreach for the district.

The widespread impacts of virtual learning have hit particularly hard for kids attending schools in rural communities, including the the eastern Coachella Valley.
