On Friday, Paris ISD will join forces with Honey Groveâs Puckett Family Clinic to provide 12- to 18-year-old students with Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccinations.
The vaccinations will take place at Paris High and Paris Junior High, but they will also be open to students from Travis High School of Choice and Crockett Intermediate School. For students to receive a vaccination, they must have a signed permission slip from their parents and must have filled out all requisite forms.
Only the Pfizer vaccine has been approved for children between the ages of 12 and 18 years old, and the nearest supplier of Pfizer vaccines is Puckett Clinic, school officials said. Though some students have already driven with their parents to receive the Pfizer vaccine in Honey Grove, Paris ISD wanted to ensure all students had access to the vaccine.
