Participants will receive the Pfizer vaccine, which requires two shots. Individuals who are eligible for a booster shot and who completed their initial vaccine series (Pfizer, Moderna, or Johnson & Johnson) at least six months ago also may attend a vaccine clinic.
This opportunity is available to individuals (ages 12 and older) who are eligible for the vaccine. Students ages 12 to 17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Interpreters will be on site.

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.
