Follow-Up Vaccine Clinic at BASD

UPMC's vaccine clinic on January 3rd was a great success. The follow-up clinic, for those who received their first dose on January 3rd need their second dose, as well as anyone needing either a first dose, or a booster, is scheduled for January 24th in the BAEC from 5:00 PM-7:00 PM. This clinic is for all eligible individuals. You do not have to be a student to receive a vaccine. NOTE: Burgettstown Area School District does not require vaccines and this clinic should not be interpreted as the school district doing so. We are simply providing space for UPMC to provide this service for our school district. Click HERE if you wish to schedule an appointment. Scheduling ahead of time is not mandatory.
