Get Vaccinated--Win Prizes!

Child vaccination immunization

Beaver Island Community School issued the following announcement on Aug 20.

Thanks to our friends at Island Airways, everyone (including kids and adults) who gets vaccinated next Tuesday, August 25, from 11-3 (and would like the chance to win prizes) will have their names put into a raffle to win one of eight prizes--one of four plane tickets or one of four t-shirts. Thank you Angel and Paul Welke!

This clinic is not just for the COVID-19 vaccine!

Parents--please use this opportunity to update all the required vaccines before school starts (e.g., MMR). If your student's vaccines are not up to date, your student cannot start school on September 7th.

Community members--This is your opportunity to save time and money by getting other vaccines that you might need (e.g., hep A or tetanus). Please note that the COVID-19 booster shots are only available at this time to adults who are considered immunocompromised and have a prescription from their doctor for the COVID-19 booster.

Although walk-ins are welcome (appointments preferred) for those who are getting their first dose of the COVID-19, you must call and make an appointment for the required childhood vaccines and additional adult vaccines. The number to call is (800) 432-4121. Listen for the prompts to schedule the COVID-19 vaccine (even if you are requesting a different vaccine) and then you will get to a live person who can look up your vaccine status. 

For the health and safety of our community, and to save you time and money, I encourage everyone to take advantage of next week's vaccination clinic!
