Teens 16 years old or older were able to get vaccinated at Abraham Lincoln High School Tuesday. It kicked off Pottawattamie County's new micro-mobile clinic initiative which aims to take vaccines to different places in the community.They got the Pfizer vaccine, which is currently approved for teens 16 and older. Soon, it could receive emergency authorization for people as young as 12.Sixteen-year-old Jennifer Rangel Mendoza feels a lot better knowing she can now protect those around her."Even just getting a first dose, it's like a weight off my shoulders," Mendoza said.The sophomore says her mom was hesitant about her getting the vaccine at first."She was just worried for my health but I talked her into it saying I'm doing it for you and for my family," 17-year-old Noah Sandbothe said."I'm tired of living like this, I just want to get back to the way it was. I want to be around my grandpa more," the high school senior said.As the son of a dad who's been treating COVID-19 patients, he's seen the toll that the pandemic can take on health care workers. "He's worked in the ICU for a long time but it's more of a workload now, for him," Sandbothe said.So when he learned he could get vaccinated right at school, it was a no-brainer."It went pretty fast, (I'm) very impressed," Sandbothe. Students weren't the only ones getting vaccinated."I got vaccinated today," Abraham Lincoln Principal Bridgette Bellows said. Bellows got her first dose after catching COVID-19 earlier in the year."I was consequently out of work, out of school, for what felt like a really long time and it's hard to be gone from school," she said.Bellows appreciates the Pottawattamie County Health Department for coordinating the effort. "Them coming today and making this available.... to our kids is outstanding," Bellows said.The next micro-mobile clinic will be available for students and staff Wednesday, May 4 at Thomas Jefferson High School in Council Bluffs.
