ESSEX, Md. — COVID-19 clinics serving Baltimore County Public Schools students started Monday in Essex.
The clinics held at Kenwood and Chesapeake High School made the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine available to students 16 and older along with their relatives and interested school staff.
By the end of day, the clinics had administered 35 shots, according to a district spokesperson. Thirteen shots were administered at Kenwood and twenty-two were administered at Chesapeake.
"Keep in mind that a number of our students and certainly a great number of our employees and staff have gotten the vaccination elsewhere," said BCPS spokesperson Charlie Herndon. "This again, is just another opportunity that we’re making available for students who haven’t had a lot of opportunities to get the vaccine."
BCPS anticipates more vaccine appointments to be made as the week progresses.
Online registration will be required. There is no charge for the two dose Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Families can sign up through their associated school which will provide their own registration link. Anyone with questions is asked to reach out to the school nurse directly.
