Free COVID-19 Vaccine Clinics at Several ACES Schools

September 22nd, 2021

ACES is excited to announce that on October 1, 2021, we will be hosting a series of COVID-19 vaccine clinics from 9:00am -1:00pm at several ACES schools - see below. Although these are the designated sites, everyone is welcomed at any of the locations. 

COVID-19 vaccines are a powerful way for us to make sure that our school community is protected from COVID-19 and that we are able to have a smooth and uninterrupted school year. We encourage all students and families who have not yet been vaccinated to take this opportunity to access a COVID-19 vaccine.

COVID-19 vaccines are available for all students 12 years of age and older. Roughly 7 million teens across the United States have been vaccinated so far, and the vaccine has proven to be both safe and effective.

We encourage all staff, students and families who want to learn more about COVID vaccines to do so. The CDC has several resources that students and families may find useful:

1. For an overview of common myths and facts about COVID vaccines, click here
2. For an overview of COVID 19 vaccines for children, including information about the Pfizer vaccine product, click here
3. To read an interview about COVID 19 vaccines with a Connecticut-based pediatrician who is also the President-Elect for the Connecticut chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, click here

In addition, we encourage families with additional questions to consult with their pediatricians/doctors.

All staff and students who want to get vaccinated at ACES' clinics on October 1, 2021 are encouraged to do so.  In addition, new ACES staff are required to be vaccinated. Please take advantage of this opportunity.

Please reach out to the contacts above with any questions - and thank you for everything you are doing to keep yourselves, your family, and your community safe.
