Gwinnett County Public Schools: Vaccine Clinics Continue In October

Press release from Gwinnett County Public Schools:

GCPS encourages our community to learn more about COVID-19 vaccinations and take advantage of opportunities to get vaccinated. The district is partnering with the Gwinnett Health Department to host weekly vaccination clinics at high schools around the county during October. No appointment is necessary.

Participants will receive the PFIZER vaccine, which requires two shots. This opportunity is available to anyone eligible for the vaccine, ages 12 and older. Students ages 12 to 17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Interpreters will be on site.

For more information on COVID  vaccinations, go to the health department website.

Central Gwinnett HS, 3-7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 19, 2021 Tuesday, Oct. 26, 2021 Thursday, Oct. 28, 2021

The Health Department also has a mobile vaccination unit that’s on the move around the county for pop-up clinics at county parks and other community venues. Click and scroll down to find locations and times for the mobile unit.

Experts tell us no single tool is going to stop the pandemic. However, we can all do our part to slow COVID-19 transmission. The best protection from COVID-19—for yourself and others— will be a combination of strategies, including getting a COVID-19 vaccine if eligible, wearing a mask, maintaining distance when you can, staying home when ill, and washing your hands often. GCPS requires masks in all facilities and on our buses, and will continue to employ established mitigation efforts.
