What: Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine clinic at CVU, open to the public by appointment through the Vermont Department of Health 

Where: Champlain Valley Union High School, Hinesburg

When: Tuesday, May 18 from 8:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. (second dose clinic will be June 8 at CVU, scheduled after receiving the first dose)

Who: Open to all, including students ages 12-15 years old

How: Parents/Guardians will need to create an account on the Department of Health website if they haven’t already. Once they have an account, they will need to add their child as a “dependent” and schedule an appointment time. Parents may accompany their child but they will not have to (by registering them as a dependent, they have given “consent”).

Students who do not attend CVU and whose appointments are during the school day should notify their school of their absence as the state will not be sharing this information with us.
