To receive the COVID-19 vaccine, children must be at least six months old on the day of vaccination. Parents need to complete a COVID-19 vaccine screening and consent form, which will be available at the mobile clinic sites. Walk-up appointments are welcome, although they are subject to vaccine availability.
The initiative will run through June and July, with various locations, dates, and times provided in fliers available in English, Spanish, and Haitian-Creole. Parents are encouraged to scan the QR code on the flier to fill out the consent forms online before visiting the mobile clinic. For new Florida residents, bringing existing vaccine records is advised.
This partnership underscores M-DCPS’s commitment to student health and readiness for the school year.
