PSD : Reminder: COVID-19 Vaccine Clinics Start This Week In Peninsula School District

Press release from the Peninsula School District:

2021-10-18

We encourage all families to consider immunizing their student(s) against COVID-19, not just for their individual health, but the health and safety of our schools and community. Immunizing your student against COVID-19 can minimize the impact of COVID-19 protocols on their learning opportunities.

Vaccine Clinics at PSD Middle Schools

In partnership with MultiCare's Center for Health Equity & Wellness, we invite the community to get free COVID-19 vaccinations at clinics located at our middle schools this fall. These vaccines are available for students ages 12 and older, families, and community members. No appointment, ID, or insurance is required. Please note: Vaccine boosters will not be provided at these events.

The Pfizer vaccine comes in two doses given at least three weeks apart. It's available to people 12 and older.

For a child 12 to 17 years old to receive the COVID-19 vaccination, consent from a parent or guardian is required. For you or your child's second dose COVID-19 vaccination, please bring your vaccine card. These clinics will not offer Pfizer boosters.

Use this resource from the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department to locate dates, times, and locations for booster and other vaccine opportunities.
