North Hills School District To Hold COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic

ROSS TOWNSHIP, PA — North Hills School District will hold a COVID-19 vaccination clinic for children ages 5-11 later this month. Giant Eagle pharmacists will administer the first and second doses of the Pfizer vaccine from 4 p.m.-8 p.m. on Nov. 18 and Dec. 9 at North Hills High School.

Parents and guardians of district students interested in receiving the vaccine must complete this registration form. Spots are limited, so the district recommends signing up as soon as possible. One form must be completed for each student.

An email will be sent to those who registered with a link to sign up for an appointment time. The times will be the same for both doses.

Parents need to bring a printed copy of the registration form, the student's health insurance and prescription cards and student identification if available.

• Students must be age 5-11 on Nov. 18 to qualify.
• The clinic is voluntary without any recommendation, direction or coercion from anyone at the district.
• This clinic will be facilitated by Giant Eagle and its pharmacists.
