Expanding Vaccine Eligibility
As of Monday, April 12, residents aged 16 and older, are now eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine in Illinois. Lake Forest High School District 115 is exploring the option of offering LFHS students ages 16 and older free COVID-19 vaccines during a vaccination clinic to be offered at the East Campus in early May. Approximately three weeks after students receive their first doses of the vaccine, District 115 would offer a second vaccination clinic so students may receive their second doses. Students would be provided the Pfizer vaccine, as it is the only COVID-19 vaccine currently authorized for use for individuals 16 years of age and older. More information regarding this opportunity will be shared as it becomes available.
