WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – FoundCare, Inc., a nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center, is hosting a Back-to-School COVID-19 Vaccine Event on Saturday, July 31 from 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM at its FoundCare Pediatric North office. Located at 5205 Greenwood Avenue, Suite 150 in West Palm Beach, the free event is open to all COVID vaccine-eligible children aged 12-years old and older. Parents are invited to get vaccinated with their children.   

The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine has been authorized for use in children ages 12 to 18 by the CDC and will be administered on-site. Parents are asked to bring their children’s COVID vaccine records, as well as their own if they have received the first shot. Second doses will be scheduled at the same location on August 21. Students who receive a vaccine will get a backpack filled with school supplies while supplies last. Children must be present to receive a free backpack.

Pre-registration is now closed. On-site registration will be available.

“We want to make sure students are prepared for the new school year,” said FoundCare CEO Yolette Bonnet. “We especially want to be sure they are vaccinated against COVID and are able to start the first day of school with the supplies they need. FoundCare was the first drive-through testing site in Palm Beach County at the start of the pandemic and we have been a trusted provider throughout. We hope families will use this opportunity to ensure their students are best positioned for success and good health in this pivotal academic year.”
