Los Altos High School history teacher Todd Wangsness receives his first COVID-19 vaccine dose at Levi’s Stadium Saturday.
For Almond School sixth-grade teacher Anju Vriksha, getting vaccinated against COVID-19 means the chance to go home. Vriksha has been staying in a friend’s cottage since she started teaching in person in January, because she feared infecting her immunocompromised mother, whom she lives with.
Getting her first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine last week was a relief, Vriksha said. Her mother is also a teacher and has received her first dose. Once they’re both fully vaccinated, Vriksha plans to move back home.
