Good afternoon,

We know that many families are anxious to get high school students vaccinated and have been trying to book appointments at clinics and pharmacies, as vaccination is an important step towards normalcy for our school and our community. We are excited to share that West Hartford Public Schools and the West Hartford/Bloomfield Health District have arranged for 650 vaccination appointments at UConn Health in Farmington for WHPS students who are age 16+. The clinic appointments are on April 21st and April 24th, and because there are limited spots there will be a signup system as walk-ins are not allowed. The Pfizer vaccine will be used at these clinics as it is currently the only one authorized for use for those aged 16+.

These clinics are ONLY for WHPS students aged 16+.

As there are limited appointments, the registration will be first come first served beginning tomorrow (Saturday 4/10) at noon. The registration will close Tuesday, 4/13 at noon to allow time for UConn to process and register the appointments in their tracking system.

To register for an appointment at these clinics:

• After 12:00pm 4/10, go to https://pickatime.com/whpscovid/StudentClinic and follow the steps to make an appointment. The times and spaces have been established by UConn Health. You will receive an email confirmation of your appointment from the Pickatime system.
• The clinic is located at:

• UConn Health Outpatient Pavilion, 135 Dowling Way,Farmington, CT 06030
• When you arrive for your appointment, park in the garage, walk across to the first floor and there are signs to the vaccine clinic.

• 16 and 17 year olds MUST come with a guardian – no exception – they will be signing the consent to treat.
• UConn Health requires people to bring some sort of ID (license, school ID) and their insurance card if that applies (no one is turned away).
• Students will receive their 2nd vaccination appointment at the clinic.
• Further information on the clinic and vaccine can be found at https://health.uconn.edu/coronavirus/covid-vaccine/

We will share in the future if we get additional UConn clinics or availability.
