COVID-19 Vaccinations for 5- to 11-Year-Olds

Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine has been authorized for 5- to 11-year-olds. MCPS is partnering with the county's Department of Health and Human Services and Holy Cross Hospital to offer a number of free vaccination clinics for children at schools and county sites.

Other family members who have not received a COVID-19 vaccination, or who need a Pfizer booster, will be able to do so at these clinics as well. 2/3 of the doses for children 5 to 11 will be provided by pharmacies, pediatricians and other healthcare providers and about 1/3 will be provided by the health department. Residents are encouraged to take advantage of the numerous sources that are providing vaccinations.

equity journey
 

MCPS Equity Journey

Race, ethnicity, and culture play a powerful role in teaching, leading, and learning. For many years, MCPS has worked actively to provide a rigorous, meaningful education to students, but the fact remains that not all students achieve at the same high levels. The MCPS equity journey claims, boldly, that a public education must serve all students and this belief is central to district values, strategic planning and budgeting. Learn more
