[quote=Anonymous]Most schools released specific plans to staff in the past two weeks. There are staff who were able to get vaccinated at least once. Others are actively seeking a first shot in anticipation of return in person.

For my dual teacher household: Neither of us were able to get a first vaccination appointment.

DH applied for an ADA accommodation. He did not hear back. Last week, he interviewed for a non-teaching position at a friend’s company. He got it! The pay is better than his teacher salary, benefits are a bit more expensive but it’s a better plan (not an HMO), and he’s guaranteed WFH until August. His start date is 3/1. It’s bittersweet for him.

At the time that we were asked to submit ADA accommodation requests, my health did not qualify. I was really hopeful that I’d get the shots and return in person. My next plan was to take FMLA leave to get treatment for a chronic condition while waiting for vaccination. However, when I did the pre-treatment  blood work recently, I got really bad news and will probably not be able to return in person this year at all. Even if I get both shots in the next 28 days. Having seen my school’s reopening plan, it’s really worrisome that my students would have both a LTS and monitors, but I doubt MCPS will accept my ADA request. I’ll take the full 60 days of FMLA and focus on beating this disease.
