HOPE – A one-night only special COVID-19 vaccination clinic for children ages 5-11 years will be conducted Friday night, Nov. 5, at the final Hope High School Bobcat football game of the season.

Official approval of the Pfizer vaccine for children ages 5-11 has made the clinic possible through the sponsorship of the Hempstead County Health Department and the Hope Public Schools.

The vaccination is provided free of costs to students only, and parents must be present to sign a consent form. An insurance ID card is also required for students covered by parental insurance.

Vaccinations will be offered under the red canopy at Hammons Stadium from 5 p.m. until the halftime of the Hope v. Magnolia football game.
