On Tuesday, March 2nd, AUSD and Garvey district employees attended a vaccination clinic at Mark Keppel High School from 8am-4pm to receive the first of two Moderna Covid-19 vaccines. According to AUSD officials, about 900 shots were administered. John Scanlon, Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources for AUSD, said that the Garvey district was included with AUSD because “Garvey also services students from the Monterey Park area and it made sense to have all of the city resources in one place.”

Mr.Scanlon also stated that there will be another first dose opportunity this coming Thursday in Arcadia. “We will send out more info once we have it. Second doses will be scheduled for the week after Spring Break.”
