Your child will not receive the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine unless we receive the medical screening form.


For students receiving the FIRST DOSE at the December 7 or December 9 clinics: In order for your child to receive the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at these clinics, you will need to sign up AND fill out the minor consent form and medical screening form for each child and return them to the main office or health office of your child’s school prior to the start of the clinic. Your child will not receive the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine unless we receive both forms. Please note, the second dose will not be offered at the school due to school being closed for the holidays. To receive the second dose, you will need to bring your child to a COVID-19 vaccine clinic at the Finger Lakes Mall or seek an appointment with your provider or at the state fairgrounds.

The Cayuga County Health Department will be holding COVID-19 vaccine clinics in AECSD school buildings on November 16 and November 18 for students whose parents/guardians give consent. If desired, parents/guardians may be present while the vaccine is being administered to their child(ren).
