Leigh Blander / Special to The Swampscott Reporter
The Swampscott school district is offering free, Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination clinics at the high school for students as young as 12 years old, their families and staff.
“This is a huge win for our district,” said Supt. Pamela Angelakis at a School Committee meeting May 12. “We’re really excited to vaccinate our younger students.”
The first clinic will be Friday, May 21, 1:30 p.m.- 4:30 p.m., with the follow-up clinic for the second dose on June 11.
The clinics are also available to people who have already received their first dose of the Pfizer series at another location. They may register for either date to receive their second shot, as long as there have been at least three weeks between doses.
