Kids 12+ Can Get Vaccinated Today

Every single person who is vaccinated helps.

L.I.S.D. announced today that masks will be optional for the grad ceremonies and for the Fall school year. This begs the question, do you feel your child is adequately protected? You may not be too worried about your child's ability to survive a potential bout with COVID-19, but you have to keep in mind that they could bring it home and infect you. It really gives you something to think about. If you are interested in vaccination for your child or if you yourself need a second shot, you may want to check out this press release from the city:

Following approval by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), the City of Lubbock Public Health Department will begin offering the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination to children ages 12 and older.
