Prioritizing Afterschool in COVID-19 Indiana’s Vaccination Plan
IAN has been monitoring state vaccination planning and advocating for afterschool providers to be prioritized along with child care providers and educators.
One immediate action you can take as an organization is to complete this Indiana Department of Health COVID-19 Vaccination Survey to help the state gather data for planning future priority groups for the vaccine.
The Department of Health is gathering information on critical infrastructure and essential employees in order to aid with future prioritization and logistical delivery of vaccine supplies as they become available. Please complete this survey as quickly as possible to help those planning efforts.
Each business or organization is requested to complete the survey only ONCE, using the link below. This survey is NOT for individuals.

Under the CARES Act stimulus bill, nonprofits and small businesses with fewer than 500 employees will be eligible for loans to meet payroll and other qualifying costs. Much of the loan is forgivable if you keep staff on payroll during the loan period. This, in essence, turns a portion of the loan into a GOS grant. Your business must have been operational before February 15, 2020 and currently in operation.
