Upcoming student vaccine clinics offer convenient opportunities for all eligible Santa Cruz County students who have yet to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
Vaccination is safe, effective, and free, and it is a key step we can each take to keep our classrooms safe and open this fall. The CDC, California Department of Public Health and Santa Cruz County Health Officials each advise that students who are eligible (ages 12 and up) should get vaccinated against COVID-19 to protect both themselves and their communities.. For more information about COVID-19 vaccines, explore the CDC’s website here.
The Santa Cruz County Office of Education has partnered with the Santa Cruz Public Health Department to host several student vaccination clinics at locations across the county over the next two weeks. Clinics are scheduled Monday, Aug. 9, and the following Sunday, Aug. 15. Parent/guardian consent is required, which may be completed online in advance through the registration process or in-person at the clinics
Win a computer
Each participant will be automatically entered into a raffle to win a refurbished computer thanks to sponsorship from Santa Cruz Tech Exchange. Raffle prizes include chromebooks, iMacs and Windows 10 PCs. Five computer vouchers will be raffled off at each clinic location.
