Superintendent Dr. Barry Reilly spoke with WJBC’s Scott Miller.
“Just like people have gone through at Grossinger Motors Arena it will be similar in terms of after they get the shot they’ll have to wait about 15 minutes then they can return to class,” said Reilly. “This is available not just for our kids who are in person but also for our remote students as well.”
The vaccine clinic will be held in the Bloomington High School gymnasium.
