U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has directed states and territories to get all teachers, school personnel, child care program educators, and other child care program staff members their first coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination by the end of the month. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has developed a short survey to learn:
- The estimated number of staff in child care programs who have received a COVID-19 vaccination.
- Their reasons for getting vaccinated.
- The vaccination concerns or challenges that people who have not been vaccinated may have.
Use this survey link (i.e., https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/covid19vaxchildcaresurvey) and share it with your networks and encourage child care providers and staff to complete the survey.
- You can complete the survey between now and March 31.
- The survey is completely anonymous; individual responses will not be reported.
- If you receive the link multiple times, please complete the survey just once.
After the data collection period has ended, the CDC will analyze the responses and share a summary of the results with the Administration for Children and Families and other national organizations.
Thank you for supporting this national directive to prioritize our child care workforce for COVID-19 vaccinations.
