All Catalyst scholars eligible for COVID-19 vaccine
Hello Catalyst families!
We hope that you are safe, healthy and are doing well!
All individuals 5 and older are eligible to receive a Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. We encourage scholars to become vaccinated as soon as possible. Scholars that are fully vaccinated will not need to quarantine if they are exposed to a positive/potential COVID-19 case and do not develop symptoms.
The vaccine is FREE, and no proof of health insurance or citizenship is needed. A parent or guardian is required to be present during COVID-19 vaccination for anyone under 18. Catalyst will offer vaccinations on-site in the coming weeks, but we have included resources in obtaining a vaccine below as well:
- You can contact your health care provider- the clinic, health center, or hospital where you receive health services
- More information on receiving a vaccination in Chicago can be accessed through this link.
- CPS is offering vaccinations in several locations that Catalyst students may receive their vaccine at- more information is linked here.
- CDC Vaccine Finder: vaccines.gov, text your ZIP code to 438829, or call 1-800-232-0233 to find locations near you
- Several stores are currently offering COVID-19 vaccines, and each has its own registration link:
