Chicago public schools canceled schools for “Vaccination Awareness Day” on Nov. 12 to increase vaccinations among children, leaving some parents in need of child care.
“CPS plans to close all schools on Nov. 12, giving parents and guardians an opportunity to get their children vaccinated,” the Chicago Teachers’ Union (CTU) wrote on Twitter. We welcome the district acknowledging the urgent need for parents and families to vaccinate their children, and providing time and opportunity to do so.”
