District schedules student vaccine clinics at high school and middle school

Blackstone-Millville staff announced two upcoming student vaccine clinics and expect to expand clinics three weeks later.

Karen told the committee that "on Monday the 24th we'll be holding a vaccine clinic at [the] high school" and that about 60 of 72 slots had been filled for that clinic. She said a June 1 clinic is planned at the middle school but the district is waiting for the collaborative running the clinics to provide the sign-up link. Appointments for the second dose will be scheduled on the day of the first shot.

Committee members asked whether clinics would be held at the schools or at an off-site location; district staff said they expect families will be told where to go and that they will communicate logistics to middle-school parents once the link is available.

The district did not provide details about the vaccine product, age eligibility beyond "kids," or which collaborative is operating the clinics; staff said they assumed the same clinic dates would repeat three weeks later for second doses.
