Quad Villages to Host Vaccination Clinic For Children Ages 12 through 17.
The Quad Village School Districts of Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry, Hastings and Irvington, in partnership with the Westchester County Department of Health (WCDOH), are pleased to announce a free COVD-19 vaccination clinic for children 12 through 17 years of age. This clinic will be held on Tuesday, July 13, 2021, (hours of 2:00 pm - 6:30 pm), in the Irvington Middle School/High School Campus Library, which is located at 40 North Broadway in Irvington.
This opportunity is open to residents of the Quad Villages and is limited to 120 children aged 12 through 17. Appointments are required and will be scheduled on a first come, first served basis through the WCDOH link below. In the event that the demand for vaccines exceeds 120 children, more appointments may be added by the WCDOH.
Please note that masks are required and we ask that everyone respect social distancing guidelines.
For students 12 years to under 16 years of age: In order for the student to receive the vaccine they must be accompanied by a parent or an adult. If the attending adult is not the parent or legal guardian, then the parent must be reachable by phone in order for the child to be vaccinated. If the parent cannot be reached, the vaccine will not be given.
For students 16 and 17 years of age: Students must have a signed parental consent form in order to receive the vaccine and parents are encouraged to be present during the vaccine administration. If your child does not have a consent form signed by a parent/legal guardian and we cannot reach you by phone, your child will not be vaccinated.
There are a limited number of appointments. In addition to filling out the screening and consent form, you must use the link below to secure your appointment:
