Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal and Secretary of Health
Dr. Umair A. Shah.

K -12 educators, school staff, coaches, bus drivers, school volunteers and
others working in school facilities will have until October 18 to be fully
vaccinated as a condition of employment. The requirement includes public,
private and charter schools, and comes as schools across the state prepare
to return for the 2021–2022 school year amid rapidly increasing case and
hospitalization numbers. This does not impact students, regardless of age.

“It has been a long pandemic, and our students and teachers have borne their
own unique burdens throughout,” Inslee said. “This virus is increasingly
impacting young people, and those under the age of 12 still can’t get the
vaccine for themselves. We won’t gamble with the health of our children, our
educators and school staff, nor the health of the communities they serve.”

Inslee also announced a vaccine requirement for employees in Washington’s
higher education institutions, as well as for most childcare and early
learning providers who serve children from multiple households.
