Johnson County Public Health (JCPH) is offering all area private and public high schools the option to hold on-site COVID-19 vaccinations for those 16 years of age and older.

So far, the Iowa City Community School District, the Clear Creek Amana School District, the  Solon Community School District, and  Hillcrest Academy are all participating. Among the groups and agencies administering the vaccines are Johnson County Public Health, Towncrest Pharmacy, the Visiting Nurses Association and the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics.

Over half of 16- and 17-year olds, and 80,500 total people, in Johnson County have already received at least one dose. In addition to the on-site high school vaccinations, vaccines are also available by appointment and/or a walk-in basis at a variety of times by the aforementioned providers and others throughout Johnson County.
