Connecticut’s COVID-19 vaccination vans will be coming to Amity Regional High School on Sept. 23 to provide no-cost, walk-up vaccinations to all Amity students and staff.
The yellow van, provided by the state Department of Public Health and run by Griffin Health, will be providing a Pfizer-BioNTech vaccination clinic. The shots will be available to all Amity students without appointment. Age eligible students who attend Bethany, Orange or Woodbridge schools are also invited to attend.
Under rules adopted by the Amity district, asymptomatic students and staff who are vaccinated and identified as close contacts do not have to quarantine and can continue their in-person learning and in-person extracurricular and co-curricular activities.
The vaccination clinic will run from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The van will return on Oct. 14 to provide the second dose of the two-dose vaccine.
Amity Regional High School is located at 25 Newton Rd. in Woodbridge.
