COVID-19 Vaccination Eligibility

On March 2, 2021, Governor Jay Inslee issued a statement that state educators be prioritized for vaccination. CWU students who participate in in-person preK-12 field experiences are immediately eligible for COVID vaccinations as part of group Phase 1B. The Governor's statement includes a link to existing vaccination providers.

If you need a letter that confirms your position as an educator in a preK-12 school, please send an email request to Heather.Spalding@cwu.edu.
