Thanks to a mass-vaccination opportunity at the Rio Rancho Events Center on March 15 three weeks away from the goodbye to the hybrid learning process quite a few Rio Rancho Public Schools employees were able to get the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
The vaccination event was provided by Walgreens, in partnership with the City of Rio Rancho and its Rio Rancho Events Center.
There were 2,300 vaccinations administered, promoted to educators.
City staff members invited people from RRPS, Bernalillo Public Schools and charter schools in the area, said Annemarie Garcia, the city’s Public Affairs Division manager.
