MASON CITY –Vaccinating your kids against vaccine-preventable diseases is one the best ways to protect the health of your child, as well as their classmates, their teachers, and their community. CG Public Health is holding vaccine clinics offering COVID-19 and back-to-school vaccines in July and August at schools near you. The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine and adolescent vaccines (Tdap, HPV & Meningococcal) will be offered. Students 12 years of age and older, parents, staff, and other individuals are welcome to receive these vaccines. You do not need to have a child in school to take advantage of these clinics. Appointments are encouraged, to schedule call 641-421-9300.
“COVID-19 disrupted our lives, but vaccines are here and it’s time to take our lives back,” says Karen Crimmings, disease prevention manager at CG Public Health. “We must take the opportunity this summer and get our kids back on track and get them vaccinated before they return to school next year.”
