HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - The state is partnering with health care organizations in the islands to kick off a series of vaccination clinics for teens and their families at Hawaii high schools.
The push comes as education officials scramble to prepare for a full reopening of schools in the fall and coronavirus spreads amongst young people.
Last week, DOE campuses had 43 coronavirus cases and all except one were students.
Vaccinations, officials said, are key to that effort.
“Keiki are critically important,” said Dr. Jill Hoggard Green, president and CEO of the Queen’s Health Systems. “We know that they can spread the disease so we know that our ability to vaccinate is important and CDC right now is allowing us from 16 on up to vaccinate.”
