BETHLEHEM, Pa. - The vaccines will be available to all high school students aged 16 and older.

The clinic includes students from any school,  not just the city’s two public high schools.

Superintendent Joseph Roy says getting teens vaccinated is one way to, “Finish the fight.”

“If you want to get back to a normal marching band next year if you want to get back to a normal chorus, if you want your sports teams to not have to worry about quarantining and stopping practices because one person is positive, you need to get vaccinated,” Roy says.

Shots will be given from 4-6 p.m. May 10 at two locations: in Freedom High School gym and in the Liberty High School library.
