The program is voluntary and students must have a signed consent form from a parent or legal guardian to be vaccinated.
“In order to stop the spread of this virus, we all need to do our part. That means continuing to wear a mask and maintain social distance in public, and getting the vaccine if you are eligible,” said Adam Mezoff, chief medical officer and vice president at Dayton Children’s Hospital. “We are pleased to partner with Montgomery County schools to provide the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to students 16 and older to help put an end to the pandemic.”
To sign up for an appointment, parents and guardians can visit https://www.childrensdayton.org/school-covid-19-vaccines and clinic the link for the appropriate school.
The following schools are participating in the partnership:
- Belmont High School
- Dayton Regional STEM School

- Gem City Career Prep High School
- Miami Valley School
- Montgomery County Educational Service Center Learning Center North
- Northridge High School
- Oakwood High School
- Stebbins High School
