It's already time to start thinking about sending kids back to school and with that means school vaccinations and the option of having students get vaccinated against COVID-19.

The City of Lubbock Public Health Department announced on Thursday that the department will partner with Frenship ISD to offer school and COVID-19 vaccination clinics.

According to a press release from the City of Lubbock, the City of Lubbock Public Health Department will work with Frenship ISD to offer school vaccinations and to offer the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination to students and their parents during the month of July.

The first clinic is today at Frenship High School from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Here are some other details you need to know about the clinics.

• Recipients of school vaccinations must be 4 years of age or older (Pre-K to college students) and uninsured or enrolled in Chip or Medicaid.
  • School-Aged Vaccines: Dtap, MMR, VAR, IPV, Hepatitis A & B, MCV4 (Meningitis), HPV9 and MenB
  • College Vaccines: MCV4 (Meningitis), HPV9 and Tdap
• Recipients of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination must be 12 years of age or older and are eligible regardless of insurance status.

Each clinic will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the following locations:

• July 1 - Frenship High School
• July 22 - Frenship High School

Walk-ins are welcome. Recipients do not need to be enrolled in Frenship ISD to receive a vaccination.

We will probably see more of these types of clinics in the future for other districts and businesses in and around Lubbock.
