Dear Parent/Guardian:
In coordination with the Vermont Department of Health, Vermont Emergency Management, the Agency of Education, the Harwood Unified Union School District has scheduled an upcoming vaccination clinic at Crossett Brook Middle School. The National Guard will be coordinating this effort on site. This clinic will serve students ages 12 and up in our district, as well as students in other nearby public and independent schools and members of our community – including parents!
We especially look forward to providing vaccines for our 12-15 year-old students, who are newly eligible to receive the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. The Health Department and Vermont pediatricians have put together this two-page information sheet about the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine and why it is safe and effective for this age group.
Please see details about the vaccination clinic below. If you have any questions, please contact your school nurse or Allison Conyers, HUUSD COVID Coordinator at [email protected]. We are eager to support you however we can to help get our students vaccinated for their health and the health of our community.
Sincerely,
Brigid Nease, Superintendent and Allison Conyers, COVID Coordinator
Location: Crossett Brook Middle School Gymnasium
Street Address: 5672 VT-100, Duxbury, VT 05676
Date: May 24, 2021
Hours: 12pm – 6pm
*Please note that this is the first of two Pfizer vaccine doses required to complete the vaccination process. A second dose of the Pfizer vaccine will be scheduled approximately 21 days after the first dose. It is anticipated, but not yet confirmed, that the second dose clinic will be scheduled on June 14 at CBMS.
The best way to reserve a dose of vaccine for your child is to register online. Registration opened on May 13th at 8:15 am. As part of registering online, you will be asked to provide your consent as their parent/guardian for your child to receive the vaccine. More information on registering online is available on the Health Department website.
Anyone who is unable to make their appointment online, needs help, or who wants to speak with someone in a language other than English can call (855) 722-7878 and press 1 for interpretation services, Monday through Friday from 8:15 a.m. – 5:30 p.m., Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. This phone line is TTY enabled.
If your child attends Crossett Brook Middle School and you register for an appointment during the school day, your child will be able to attend their vaccine appointment while at school. You do not need to be present, but you are welcome to attend with them if that would be helpful. Be sure that your child knows what time he or she needs to walk to the gymnasium. We also encourage you to make an appointment for yourself if you are not yet vaccinated!
If your child attends the clinic without you, they will be asked to confirm the answers to health questions that were part of the registration process, such as whether or not they:
The best way to ensure a dose is available for your child is to register in advance, but depending on how many registrations are made, we expect there to be a limited number of walk-in doses available. If your child takes advantage of a walk-in appointment, we will need to get your consent for them to be vaccinated in one of three ways:
If our school clinic is not a convenient time for your family, there are many options statewide to get vaccinated. Your 12-15 year-old can register for a vaccine at any community vaccine clinic providing the Pfizer vaccine that is convenient to you. In addition, pharmacies at Kinney Drugs, CVS, Costco and Hannaford’s are now offering appointments for Pfizer vaccine to Vermonters aged 12 and up. Please note that each pharmacy has its own process and requirements for parental consent.
Below is a list of other confirmed Pfizer vaccine clinics in Washington County in the next few weeks. You may sign your child up using the online registration tool for any of these community vaccine clinics if the Crossett Brook Middle School date and time does not work for your family.
