Iowa City Community School District has partnered with the Visiting Nurses Association to hold walk-in COVID-19 vaccine clinics for students 5-11 at 10 of the district’s elementary schools.

“A parent/guardian must be present for a child to receive the vaccine,” the email to families and staff states.

The district informs families and staff that, beginning today, children 5-11 are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine following the FDA and CDC authorizations of the Pfizer vaccine for emergency use.

The clinics will be held:

Nov. 8 – Grant Elementary (3:15-6 p.m.)
Nov. 8 – Weber Elementary (3:15-6 p.m.)
Nov. 9 – Kirkwood Elementary (3:15-6 p.m.)
Nov. 10 – Alexander Elementary (3:15-6 p.m.)
Nov. 11 – Hoover Elementary (2:15-6 p.m.)
Nov. 15 – Garner Elementary (3:15-6 p.m.)
Nov. 15 – Shimek Elementary (3:15-6 p.m.)
Nov. 16 – Lemme Elementary (3:15-6 p.m.)
Nov. 17 – Horn Elementary (3:15-6 p.m.)
Nov. 18 – Twain Elementary (2:15-6 p.m.)

Vaccines will only be provided to children 5-11 years old.

“With only one nurse administering the vaccinations at each site, please be patient and courteous as visits could take longer than expected,” the email states.
