Licensed Childcare Centers Survey

Holy Cross Health, Montgomery County Health and Human Services, and Nonprofit Montgomery are reaching out to licensed childcare centers in the county to better understand the needs of vaccinating the childcare workforce, including teachers, administrators, and facility and maintenance staff. While demand for vaccinations currently outpaces available supply, we want to be ready for when more vaccines are available.

Holy Cross Health has established a high-capacity vaccination site adjacent to Holy Cross Hospital in Silver Spring. We propose to include childcare workers in vaccination clinics at that site. The results of this survey will inform our request to the state for additional vaccines to support the vaccination needs of this critical and essential workforce.

The vaccine is provided free by the federal government, but insurance will be charged an administration fee. There is no out-of-pocket expense for any vaccinated individuals and there is no cost for those without health insurance.
