A COVID-19 vaccination clinic took place Wednesday at Girard High School. 

About 80 teachers and support staff who are part of Phase 1A in the Pennsylvania Department of Health's vaccine distribution plan received the vaccine Wednesday morning. 

The Girard School District has a longstanding partnership with Community Health Net, which secured the vaccines and administered the shots. 

In addition, approximately 80 Girard community members who are part of Phase 1A - and patients of Community Health Net - will receive the vaccine on Wednesday afternoon. 

All available appointments have been filled and walk-ins are not permitted. 

Event organizers say having a clinic in Girard will be more convenient for residents than having to drive to Erie to receive the vaccine. 

The vaccination clinic at Girard High School will run from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
