A large percentage of my kids' classes at Janney have already gotten a shot, based on what my kids are reporting. Seems possible it won't be such a mess.

In my kid's charter 3rd grade class, as of today, there was only one kid who hadn't been vaccinated. [I mean the source is a 3rd grader, but that's still pretty good]

Private schools get their own private vaccine clinics while a school as large as Janney can't get enough for its students!!! SMH!

The clinic at Janney isn't supposed to be just for its students -- it's open to anyone in the city, same as the other public clinics are. I don't think anyone needs to feel sorry for the poor underserved Janney students.

Uh my charter also has its own clinic for just students at the school. So not just private schools.

How many Janney parents do you know that would wait 2 weeks after the shots were approved to get their kids vaxxed? Mine were vaxxed last weekend.

Agreed. We are at a different W3 elementary and I would say just based on casual reporting from my kid that at least 50% of her class has already had shot #1. Our school has not yet had a pop up.

My kids third grade class had 4 kids who were vaccinated. Apparently it was a question asked at morning meeting? Anyway it’s ward 3.

Right, I think the Janney clinic will have plenty of available shots. I do know some people who have been waiting, but only because they didn't already get an appointment somewhere mildly inconvenient.

Janney parent here. My kids haven’t gotten it because I refuse to do this a second time. It was hell trying to get mine. I won’t make my kids wait hours or get some Tuesday appointment at 7pm. I’ll just wait another week or two and get a more convenient Saturday time.

I do find it interesting how GDS has a private event - and everyone else has to wait in line with the masses.

So did my pediatrician. Does that make them elitist?

I’m in Ward 6 and have planned to take my kids to Janbey Janney because I assume there won’t be a line.

So did my public charter.

Plus the JCC.

Same here. My kid's risk of getting and having ill effects from Covid is infinitesimally low. I am waiting for Janney or will wait another few weeks. It's not worth my time to stand in line.
