The Hood River County Health Department is making a push to get eligible students vaccinated before the school year starts. Those 12 years of age or older can receive Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, but it is a two-dose vaccine, and Hood River County COVID-19 Coordinator Daron Ryan says now is the time to for school-age youth to get the series started. Ryan adds the encouragement to get vaccinated goes beyond COVID-19 to other shots for children before the school year begins.
