Dear Students and Families,

We are excited to share the registration and scheduling information for the student COVID-19 vaccination events.   
 
Community Health Center, Inc. (CHC), a leading independent, non-profit healthcare provider in the state of Connecticut, will be bringing a mobile vaccination program for students to campus. As of April 1, Connecticut residents who are 16 and over, including all students living at boarding schools in Connecticut, are eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.  
 
CHC will be set up in the Fieldhouse on April 26 and 27 for the first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, approved for individuals age 16 and up. Second doses will be provided on May 17 and 18. Please see the links below to register, provide consent, and schedule an appointment. Students age 18 and older will use the link to create their own appointments. Parental registration and consent will be required for students ages 16-17. Health insurance information will be collected during the registration process.
 
Monday, April 26 
 
Tuesday, April 27
 
We are strongly encouraging all eligible boarding and day students to take advantage of this vaccination opportunity on campus. If you have already scheduled an appointment for your student to be vaccinated off campus, and they have not yet received their first dose, we encourage you to take advantage of the on-campus clinic, in order to reduce the exposure that students returning to campus may bring to our residential community. For students who have a 16th birthday after April 27, we will allow off-campus vaccination appointments arranged by the family, provided that we can continue to mitigate the risks to campus. 
 
CHC is only able to provide vaccines for students who will receive both doses in this clinic. Students who have already received a first dose of COVID-19 vaccine off-campus will need to return to their original vaccination site for the second dose. Please contact Danielle Shippey, director of health services, for further instructions regarding second doses.
 
Sincerely,

Danielle Shippey, RN
