With more and more New Yorkers getting their COVID-19 vaccines, Saratoga County school administrators wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the dedication of more than 50 school nurses who participated in closed PODs for educators over the last two months.
These PODs, which stands for Point of Dispensing, are temporary sites in the community where vaccines can be quickly administered to people in large numbers. Recently, several PODs ran through a partnership between Saratoga County Public Health Services, Saratoga County schools and WSWHE BOCES.
Just about every Friday from Jan. 29 until April 16, happy educators could be seen leaving PODs at the WSWHE BOCES Ballard Road Conference Center or Ballard Elementary School in Wilton, knowing that they had received their vaccine and were a step closer toward returning our schoolsâ classrooms to normal.
