COVID-19 VACCINE AVAILABLE TODAY TO STUDENTS AGES 16+ AT EUSTIS HIGH AND APRIL 8 AT TAVARES HIGH

Lake County Schools  announced it has scheduled fives days to distribute vaccines to students that are 16 and older at area high schools.  The first date is April 5 at Eustis High School from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.  No appointment is required and students do not have to be enrolled in the school where the vaccine is being distributed. 
 
Federal and state guidelines have extended eligibility requirements for the Pfizer vaccine to include this age group. DOH-Lake  has partnered with Lake County Schools to offer the vaccine at times and locations that are more convenient for the majority of school employees and eligible students.

Students age 16 and 17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian when receiving both doses. The Pfizer Consent Form must be completed and signed by the parent or guardian in advance for both visits. The student will receive a vaccination card after the first dose and should bring the card for the second dose.

Students age 18+ are asked to please bring ID and the Pfizer Consent Form completed in advance when they come for their first dose. They will receive a vaccination card and should bring that card, along with another copy of the Pfizer Consent Form completed in advance, when they come for their second dose.

• Eustis High School from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM
  • 1st dose 4/5
  • 2nd dose 4/26
