Vaccine Clinic on June 9 for Anyone Ages 12+
Roseville Area Schools is partnering with the Minnesota Department of Health to host a COVID-19 vaccine clinic, where the Pfizer vaccine will be available to any person ages 12 and up free of charge. The clinic will take place at Parkview Center School on June 9, from 2 – 6 p.m. Minors must be accompanied by an adult in order to receive a vaccine. This clinic is not limited to students and their families; it is open to anyone seeking a COVID-19 vaccine. Lyft and Uber are offering free rides to COVID-19 vaccine sites.
Please watch for a survey from your students' school to help us anticipate the number of vaccines to have on-hand for the clinic. This will be a walk-in clinic, registration will not be necessary and vaccines will be available on a first-come-first-served basis.
We strongly encourage all students ages 12 and up to get the Pfizer vaccine as soon as possible. Getting our students vaccinated will help keep us on track for a school experience that resembles what we are used to and will help protect those who are not yet able to be vaccinated, like younger siblings.
COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective in adolescents. Adolescents, like adults, may have some side effects after vaccination, which are normal signs that their body is building protection. If you have questions about the COVID-19 vaccine or any other vaccines your child may need, talk to your child’s health care provider.
