“There is no out-of-pocket cost to families to receive the COVID-19 vaccine at any of the above locations. 
“We are grateful that the Florida Department of Health in Hillsborough County continues to prioritize the health and safety of our students. These vaccine clinics are an opportunity for interested families to protect their children against the effects of COVID-19. With just two and a half months until the start of a new school year, we want to assure our parents that we are here with resources and supports to provide a safe learning environment on all campuses,” said Superintendent Addison Davis.  

“Several Hillsborough County Public Schools students produced a video that includes testimonials to support COVID-19 vaccinations for teens. The students, who all attend Robinson High School, are board members with the Teen Connect Youth Advisory Board through Healthy Start Coalition of Hillsborough County. The video https://youtu.be/dMMawr5OwrY hopes to educate teens and youth on vaccinations.”
