Teacher, Staff COVID Vaccination Rates at Bay Area School Districts

On August 1, NBC Bay Area reached out to more than 100 school districts across the Bay Area asking the following questions:

1. What is the current vaccination rate among teachers and staff at your school district? 
2. How many teachers and staff members are currently unvaccinated?  
3. How many district and school staff members have chosen not to verify their vaccination status?    

Many of the school districts said they are still gathering information and have until Friday to provide it. Under state guidelines, school districts have until October 15 to make sure all teachers are vaccinated or tested for COVID weekly.

A number of the school districts said their current figures are based on teacher attestations, and they are counting again because new state mandates require proof of vaccination or testing of teachers and school employees.
