Back to School Vaccine Clinic
Mayor Carlo DeMaria is pleased to announce that the City of Everett will be hosting a Back to School Vaccine Clinic geared towards college students on Thursday, August 12th. The clinic will be held at the Health Department, 2nd Floor – Room 20 in City Hall between 9am – 7pm.
“The City of Everett has been committed to vaccinating the entire community,” said Mayor DeMaria. “I want to ensure that as members of our community are entering or returning to college that they receive protection from COVID-19 and its variants. College students live in close quarters and interact with people from different parts of the country and the world. It is important that they not only protect themselves with the vaccine, but they protected others too by not carrying the virus.”
The Johnson & Johnson single dose vaccine will be administered during this clinic. This vaccine is available to individuals ages 18 and older. This will be a walk-in clinic. No appointment is needed to receive the vaccine.
