Reno County Health Department to Offer COVID Vaccine for Ages 5-11
The Reno County Health Department will begin offering the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine to ages 5 through 11, starting Monday, November 8. The vaccine will be administered at the Health Department, 209 West Second. Appointments are required and can be made by calling 620-694-2900 and selecting option 6.
Governor Laura Kelly announced November 3 that Kansas would follow the FDA and CDC’s recommendations for administering the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine to children ages 5-11 under the Emergency Use Authorization. The Pfizer pediatric dose is one-third of the adult dosage and requires two doses, 21 days apart.
The vaccine has been found to be 90.9% effective in preventing COVID-19 in children 5 through 11. Side effects are similar to other vaccines given to children including pain at the injection site, fatigue, headache, muscle and/or joint pain, chills, and fever. The long-term effects of pediatric COVID infection can be serious and last for months. If you have questions or concerns, please talk to your pediatrician or another trusted healthcare provider.
The COVID-19 vaccine is free to any Reno County resident, regardless of citizen status or insurance. The Health Department is open Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 7:30 am to noon, and 1 pm to 6pm, and Wednesday from 9am to noon and 1 to 6pm. They are closed on Fridays. To view vaccine availability at other sites, visit https://vaccinefinder.org/. For a ride to one of the vaccine sites, call RCAT at 620-694-2913.
Yesterday the First Graders got to take a virtual tour of a Kansas pig farm thanks to the Kansas Pork Association! We joined a live Zoom with schools from all over the US. Students learned about what pigs are fed, where they live, what temperatures they need to be at, how much they eat, and how pig farmers use computers. It was a great tour and the kids really enjoyed it!

ATTENTION!!!
Due to the high winds, we are going to move the location of Trunk-R-Treat today. Please park on the east side of the school in the circle drive outside of the elementary office instead of the area south of the football field. This will be a much closer walk for our students and will provide a little windbreak. Please start setting up by around 1:30 pm to be ready by 2:00 pm.
The FES Trunk-R-Treat WILL still take place at 2:00 pm tomorrow south of the football field.
Rolla’s bus is stuck. His bus will not be coming today but we are working on an alternate route.
