AACPS, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TEAM UP AGAIN TO OFFER FREE SCHOOL-READINESS AND COVID-19 VACCINATIONS

Anne Arundel County Public Schools and the Anne Arundel Department of Health are teaming up again this summer to help keep students and adults healthy by offering vaccination clinics at six schools throughout the county. 

The clinics will offer the following vaccinations:

  • Seventh-grade Meningococcal vaccine (Menquadfi) and Tdap vaccines for those students entering seventh grade in August who are enrolled in AACPS for the 2023-24 school year.
  • COVID-19 vaccines (Pfizer) for county residents ages 5 and older, regardless of whether, in the case of school-aged residents, they are enrolled in AACPS for the 2023-24 school year.

COVID-19 vaccinations and/or boosters are not required for students to attend AACPS schools.

Parents or guardians must register children for each vaccine their child is receiving using specific links as outlined below. Clinics will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Clinics will be held as follows:

  • Monday, July 24, 2023: Annapolis Middle School
