The PORTA School District, in cooperation with the Illinois National Guard, Menard and Sangamon County Health Departments, will be offering a Covid-19 vaccine clinic at our High School campus on June 11, 2021. There is no cost for the vaccine.
Pfizer will be the vaccine utilized at the June 11 clinic, which will allow ages 12 and up to participate.  A follow up clinic will be scheduled for July 2, 2021 at the same location and during the same time schedule. 
Appointments will be from 9:00 to 2:00 PM.
To Qualify for This clinic you must be 12 years of age or older and a legal guardian must be present during the vaccination for students 17 and under.
PLEASE READ:
If you are insured, please bring proof of insurance. The health Department will bill an administrative fee to cover some of the costs for the services they offer at the vaccine site. However, insurance is not required to receive the vaccine.
If possible, wear a short sleeved shirt to ensure vaccine is easily administered.
