“I’ve already asked the question: if we know there’s going to be an expanded age group, can we make a modification?” Mentzer said of District 201’s plans for a vaccine clinic before the vaccine was approved for younger kids.
Mentzer said the district would look at opening up appointments at the two high schools for those younger students if the age group was expanded. If there are still appointments available next week, it would look at opening it up to the high schools’ feeder districts, which include Belle Valley 119, Belleville 118, Grant 110, Harmony-Emge 175, High Mount 116, Millstadt 160, Pontiac-William Holliday 105, Signal Hill 181, Whiteside 115 and Wolf Branch 113.
