Mount Airy City Schools will be holding a COVID-19 vaccination clinic Friday for students age 16 and older.
“Fully vaccinated students don’t need to quarantine after exposure if they don’t have symptoms,” the school system said on its website. “If a student has been fully vaccinated they do not have to quarantine if they are exposed to someone with COVID-19 but do not have any symptoms and it has been at least two weeks since they completed their vaccination series.”
The vaccination clinic, being held in conjunction with Gates Pharmacy, will utilize the two-dose Pfizer vaccine. The clinic will be held in the Mount Airy High School Commons area from 10 a.m. until 2:15 p.m., with the first dose administered Friday, and the second dose set to be given on Friday, June. 4.

Mount Airy Commissioner/Mayor Pro Tem Ron Niland presents a city resolution of recognition to Pat Gwyn for her 49 years of service to the Mount Airy Public Library.
A library is more than a building filled with books, with those working inside needed to ensure its success, and in that spirit Pat Gwyn has been recognized by Mount Airy officials for her job well done.
Commissioner/Mayor Pro Tem Ron Niland called it “a bittersweet recognition” Thursday night when Gwyn was honored at a city council meeting in conjunction with her retirement from the Mount Airy Public Library.
