Mobile bus vaccine clinics at PSD schools - keep up to date on PSD information here.

Vaccine clinics are run by the Colorado Department of  Public Health and Environment. PSD is not administering the vaccines or coordinating appointments. Free flu shots are also available at these clinics. 

CDPHE mobile clinics are open to members of the greater community, as well as our school community. Mobile clinics are parked outside so no one needs to enter the schools. Book an appointment below or find one in northeast Colorado here.

To be vaccinated, individuals must be at least 5 years old, and a parent or guardian must be present to provide consent. Currently, those who are 5-17 years old can only receive the Pfizer vaccine. The vaccine will be given to kids 5-11 in smaller doses, one-third of the dosage given to teens and adults.

All three vaccines - Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson and Johnson - will be available for adults, 18 and older.  

Appointments are available on a first-come, first-serve basis and entirely voluntary. After receiving the first dose, a second-dose appointment is automatically scheduled for 21 days later.

Masks are currently required for students,.staff and visitors, regardless of vaccination, in PSD schools and buildings. Masks are not required outdoors.
