Barrow County School System: Jan 6 Vaccination Event At CFIT

Press release from the Barrow County School System:

January 3, 2022

With the Omicron variant of COVID-19 spreading throughout the country and the onset of flu season, we are partnering with the Barrow Health Department to offer a vaccination event for our families. By getting vaccinated now, your child can be more prepared for a healthy spring semester. 

The Barrow Health Department will be at the Center for Innovative Teaching (old Russell Middle School next to Winder Library - 84 West Midland Ave in Winder) on Thursday, January 6, 2022, from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm in the CFIT gym. No appointment is necessary.

This walk-up vaccine clinic will offer the following: 

Parents need to be present for children who need to be vaccinated. If another adult family member brings your child (such as a grandparent), please provide a written note from the parent/ guardian giving permission for the vaccination with a telephone number. A DPH nurse will call that number for verification and confirmation.

No out-of-pocket expense for anyone. If insured, please bring your card private, PeachCare, or Medicaid. The state of Georgia has a program to help those underinsured or with no insurance so everyone can be well. 

Thank you.
