Covid-19 Vaccines at Deep Run During School Hours

We are happy to share that HCPSS, in partnership with Giant Food Pharmacy, will be hosting an In-School Covid-19 Vaccination Clinic at our school.  Students can receive the primary series of Pfizer vaccinations.  The first dose will be given on March 16th and the second dose will be given on April 6th. 

A Vaccination Clinic Flier/Permission Form from our school, including specific clinic dates, will be sent home today. Please complete and return the form to our Health Room no later than Wednesday, March 9, 2022 if you wish for your child to receive the vaccination series.  

This is a voluntary immunization opportunity for children who have NOT received a primary Covid-19 vaccination series. Please note that parents whose children have been vaccinated previously and/or do not wish for their children to be vaccinated are not required to return forms.
