Hempfield Area School District students may receive their first dose of the covid-19 vaccine during a clinic Tuesday at the high school field house. Other clinics are planned this month for students across the region.
Shots of the Pfizer vaccine will be administered from 3 to 7 p.m. in Hempfield through cooperation with Rite Aid. The clinic is open to anyone 16 and older, including adults living in the community.
“While vaccinations are now more readily available, we are supporting this opportunity on school property as it makes it more convenient for any eligible (16 and older) and interested students,” Superintendent Tammy Wolicki said.
