West Columbia, SC 06/18/2021 - Continuing to place the health and safety of students as top priority, East Point Academy will host a Community Tween-Teen-Adult Vaccination Clinic at their Middle Campus on July 2nd, 11:30am-3:00pm. This clinic is the follow-up to their June 11th clinic which saw many students receive their first dose. East Point Academy partnered with Nephron Pharmaceutical and MRB Public Health Consulting to bring the COVID-19 vaccination clinic to life. The June 11th clinic was the first of its kind hosted at a public school in South Carolina.
“Public Health is Community Health. Our clients have overcome so many obstacles during the biggest public health crisis of our lives….” remarked Founder and CEO of MRB Public Health Consulting, Maudra Brown. “We are happy to organize the first vaccine clinic for adolescents at a school because we know vaccination and prevention methods will help us get out of the Pandemic and move toward more normal day-to-day living. We continue to bring cutting-edge and evidence-based solutions to all the communities, businesses, and organizations we partner with.” Echoing Brown’s statement, East Point Academy Board Member Dr. Mieke Perez said “As a member of the East Point Academy Board of Directors, I take seriously the safety and well-being of every student that we are privileged to nurture and educate on a daily basis...I am a fully vaccinated physician since last December, and my 14-year-old middle schooler safely received his vaccination in June...Please help us grow the population of vaccinated youth.”
Community members wanting to receive their first or second dose should arrive at East Point Middle Campus at 1401 Leaphart St. West Columbia, SC between 11:30am and 3pm. You do not need to bring anything with you, but youth need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
