Dear Parents or Guardians of Students 12 years of age and older,
The Lenowisco Health District is pleased to offer the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine booster for those students 12 years of age and older at J W Adams Combined School on February 16 10:00-10:30 AM
The link to the clinic is also provided to help you schedule your child’s appointment. If you have any issues scheduling the appointment, please contact your local health department for assistance.
Students between 12-17 years of age are NOT eligible to receive a booster dose unless it has been 5 months since they received their second dose of Pfizer vaccine.
COVID-19 cases are once again on the rise in our schools and communities. Receiving a booster dose of vaccine provides further protection and reduces the risk of disease, hospitalization, and death, and may also protect friends, family, and the community.
Wearing masks, social distancing, and washing hands, along with receiving the COVID-19 vaccine booster, are important tools to help prevent the spread of disease.
Common side effects from the vaccine include pain at the injection site, headache, muscle or joint pain, fever, and chills. These side effects typically resolve within 12-24 hours. Please review the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for specific vaccine information.
To register your student for a vaccine, you will sign them up online on the VDH VASE+ system. To schedule the appointment, review the EUA, and sign the consent, please use the link below for your child’s school:
Best Regards,
Michelle McPheron, Nurse Manager
