The McKean County Department of Emergency Management is working with Universal Primary Care, located in Bradford, and local school districts to help get students age 5 to 11 vaccinated.
In a post to social media, officials said that students in Otto-Eldred School District, Port Allegany School District and Smethport Area School District are eligible to get a vaccine at the Otto-Eldred Elementary School on Nov. 23, in the after-school hours.
Sign-ups are being done through a website, which can be found by visiting the McKean County EMS Facebook page or the OESD Facebook page.
There are 150 slots available for the clinic.
McKean County DES Director Nathan Burgett explained the clinic is in answer to a survey of area school districts, determining interest.
A clinic was held in Bradford Tuesday for students aged 5 to 11, with the second dose scheduled for Dec. 8.
For the clinic at Otto-Eldred Elementary Nov. 23, the second dose will be scheduled for Dec. 14.
Kane Area School District is currently surveying students and parents to determine interest and need in that area. A clinic may be scheduled for those students at a later date, if needed.
Universal Primary Care is located at 159 Interstate Parkway and offers services in adult medicine, pediatric care, vaccines and immunizations, pre and post-natal care, management of chronic diseases and well visits for both school physicals and general medical exams.
