The vaccinations are being offered to all currently enrolled LSSC students and employees (ages 18 and older), as well as all admitted students (18 and older) for the summer or fall semesters this year.
Students who are currently enrolled or admitted who are ages 16 or 17 are eligible for the Pfizer vaccine if they bring a parent or guardian to the event. The student’s parent or guardian also is eligible for a vaccination.
