School Vaccination Clinics

The school vaccination clinics will be open to any student who is 12 years or older and their parents or guardians. Parent/guardian permission MUST be verified prior to vaccination for those who are under 18.   

Students will receive the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Vaccines will be administered by the Salt Lake County Health Department. 

It’s important for those who would like to be vaccinated to pre-register via one of the three methods indicated below. The health department will use pre-registration data to determine the number of vaccine doses that will be needed on each school’s clinic date. 

• Register online at https://vaccinate.utah.gov/, which requires the user to create an account. See the table above for each school's registration code, which are required for registration. This is the preferred registration method. 
• Call 385-468-4100 with the name of the school and the school registration code (provided in the table above). 
• Print, fill out, and bring to school a paper "COVID Encounter and Registration" form. The COVID Encounter and Registration form can be downloaded here in multiple languages.

In addition to filling out the online pre-registration form OR the hard copy COVID Encounter and Registration form, students who are under 18 years of age will also need to bring a consent form signed by their parent or guardian. The parent consent form can be downloaded here in multiple languages. Hard copies are also available at the school if printing at home is unavailable.  

All students must either pre-register online OR bring a paper COVID Encounter and Registration form. 

Students under age 18 need to bring a signed parent consent form. 

Students will arrive at their appointed time and will present proof of parental consent if the student is under age 18. After receiving the vaccine, students will need to stay for 15-30 minutes of observation to make sure there are no allergic reactions.  

Students who have a past history of vaccine reactions or allergy may need to stay the full 30 minutes out of an abundance of caution. The parental consent form includes approval for health department staff to administer Benadryl and/or an Epipen in the event of a severe allergic reaction. If a student shows an allergic reaction, parents will be notified, and the student will need to be picked up from school. 

A second clinic for second vaccine doses will be scheduled exactly three weeks after the first dose is administered. Please mark that date on your calendar now. 

If a student will be 12 years old by the date of the second dose clinic, they may receive their first dose at the second clinic. They will need to schedule their second dose through the county health department website or through a local pharmacy, as we will ONLY be hosting two vaccination clinics.

It is best for students to eat and drink before receiving the vaccine. This will help reduce the risk of students experiencing any symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting.
