“We are pleased to partner with the Madison County Health Department to provide opportunities for students and their families to receive the COVID-19 vaccine,” said Dr. Joe Cronk, Superintendent of ACSC. “I encourage anyone that has not yet been vaccinated to take advantage of this opportunity.”
The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine will be available to students 12 years of age and older. Individuals choosing the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine will be given their first dose on July 1st and return on July 22nd for their second dose. The Johnson & Johnson vaccine will be available to anyone 18 years of age and older. Individuals wishing to receive the Johnson & Johnson vaccine may do so on either July 1st or July 22nd at either location.
No appointment or pre-registration is required. Students under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult and have parent/guardian consent. If a parent/guardian is not present then a signed note indicating consent for the COVID-19 vaccine is required.
The MCHD wants to remind parents and guardians to continue taking their children to regular well visits and check-ups with their healthcare provider. This also includes making sure they are up to date on their other immunizations, including those that may have been missed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
