OSHKOSH (NBC 26) — The following information is from a news release from the Oshkosh Area School District.
The Oshkosh Area School District (OASD) says it is partnering with the Winnebago County Health Department to host on-site COVID-19 Vaccine Walk-in Clinics for families with children ages 5-11.
Clinics will take place Monday, November 8 from 3:30 - 6:30 p.m. at Oaklawn Elementary School and Tuesday, November 16 from 3:30 - 6:30 p.m. at Shapiro STEM Academy. The Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine will be available. Follow-up clinics to distribute the second Pfizer dose will take place November 29 at Oaklawn and December 7 at Shapiro.
The onsite vaccine clinics are open to any OASD students age 5-11, as well as their immediate family members. Children under 18 must have a parent/guardian present and parent/guardian-signed consent form. No appointment, identification, or insurance required, OASD says.
Families accessing the clinic will be directed to a limited number of individual office locations for privacy. About 120 doses will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Those accessing the vaccine clinics are asked to arrive no earlier than 3:30 p.m. once the school day has ended and traffic is reduced. Parking is available in the main parking lots. A consent form should be completed in advance and is available online at www.oshkosh.k12.wi.us/covid-vaccine-outreach.
Individuals cannot be vaccinated at this clinic if they have had an observed allergic reaction (anaphylactic reaction) to any injectable medication or vaccination, OR if they have received any vaccine (including the flu vaccine) within the last 14 days.
Families are also encouraged to reach out to their pediatrician or take advantage of vaccine availability within the Oshkosh community, including Walk-In Wednesdays at Sunnyview Expo Center (500 E. County Road Y) from 1 to 6 p.m. each Wednesday (no appointment necessary).
