Springfield Mayor Chris Weber noted, “This is another important step in restoring the health of our township and our country and I am so thankful for everyone involved in making this happen. Providing this vaccine is a great example of the collaboration between our town and schools.” Springfield Board of Education President Laura Gamarekian added, “During this challenging year, we have continued to work to support the health and safety of our students, staff, and community at large. We are grateful for the partnership with Rite Aid and the Township as we work together to provide vaccine access to our staff and students.”

Face masks and a health screening form will be required before arriving to the school. Only the patient and a parent or guardian may enter to help ensure social distancing. The cost is covered either by your medical insurance or by a federal government program; there is no cost to the patient.
