Covid vaccine clinic at UES on Nov. 8 - sign up beginning Nov. 4

Hello families,

UES will be hosting a Covid vaccine clinic for 5-11 year olds. It is completely optional.

If you choose to have your child vaccinated against Covid, you can do it at the school clinic, at a local pharmacy, or at your family doctor.

The clinic at UES will be on Monday, November 8 (first dose) and Monday, November 29 (second dose). The Pfizer vaccine will be given.

Registration for the UES clinic will be online and will go live on Thursday, November 4 at 8:00 a.m.

If you want to have your child vaccinated at UES:

Before Thursday, go to this Department of Health website to create an account for your child. (Scroll down to the blue "make an appointment" button.)
On Thursday at 8 a.m., go to the same website to register your child for a time slot. Choose any time.

If you do not sign up your child for vaccination, they will not be vaccinated.

You are welcome to come to the school at the time we’ve scheduled your child to be vaccinated and join your child when they get their shot. More information will be coming soon on how to join your child for the vaccine.

Here is the complete letter from Superintendent Bonesteel with more details.

Please contact any of us with any questions,

Hannah Barden, Sylvia Fagin and Laura Rooney
