The LDSB and KFL&A Public Health continue to work closely to keep schools open and safe for in-person learning. Children aged 5 to 11 years are now eligible to receive their COVID-19 vaccination.
KFL&A Public Health will be continuing to offer after-school vaccination clinics in schools, and other vaccine clinics in the community. Public Health is working to ensure that all children, whose families would like them to be vaccinated, have access to a vaccination clinic.
Public Health has outlined many ways to access COVID-19 vaccine clinics in this letter. 2022-02-02-School-5to11-Clinic Letter-Final.pdf
To ensure eligible children have access to vaccines as soon as possible, families can complete the COVID-19 Vaccine Consent Form and return it to their home school in a sealed envelope by Wednesday, February 16, 2022. KFL&A Public Health staff will review the form and contact families directly to see how best to support access to the COVID-19 vaccine. All consent forms will be kept confidential.
