As of March 30, all Minnesotans 16 years of age and older became eligible to receive a vaccine.

At this time, the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine is the only COVID-19 vaccine that has been studied and authorized for use for 16 and 17 year old. individuals. Data from Pfizer vaccine studies show the vaccine is safe and effective for this age group. Other vaccine manufacturers are also studying their vaccines in younger age groups but have not yet received authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The Minnesota Department of Health has created a resource with information about COVID-19 vaccines for 16- and 17-year-olds.

How to get your vaccine:

• Sign up for the Minnesota COVID-19 Vaccine Connector. The Vaccine Connector will inform you about vaccine opportunities in your area.
• Use the Vaccine Locator Map to find vaccine providers near you.
• Contact your primary health care provider or a local pharmacy.
• Vaccine Connector users may also be randomly selected to make an appointment at one of the state’s COVID-19 Community Vaccination Program sites. If you are selected, you will be notified by text, email, or phone call by one of the state vaccination partners running those sites: Vault Health, Primary Bio or SpeciaLysts (Solv).
• Your employer may also reach out with information about vaccination opportunities.

Stay safe before your opportunity to get the vaccine:

While all Minnesotans 16 years and older are eligible, not every Minnesotan will be immediately able to make an appointment. It’s important to continue taking easy steps to slow the spread of COVID-19:

• Wear a mask
• Maintain physical distancing
• Wash your hands
• Get a COVID-19 test if you need one. Find a no-cost testing location near you or order an at-home test at no cost.

Who does not need to quarantine:

If you have recovered from COVID-19 in the past 90 days and have close contact with someone with COVID-19, you do not need to quarantine if ALL of the following are true:

• Your illness was confirmed with a positive lab test in the past 90 days.
• You have fully recovered.
• You do not currently have any symptoms of COVID-19.

If someone has completed COVID-19 vaccination (two doses in a two dose series or one dose in a one-dose series) and is exposed, they do not need to quarantine if ALL of the following are true:

• The COVID-19 exposure was at least 14 days after their vaccination series was fully completed.
• They do not currently have any symptoms of COVID-19.

Please call or email EVHS school nurse Melissa Persigehl with the following information. Or, you may complete the form at the link below.

• If you or your child is ill or are experiencing symptoms,
• if you or your child is identified as a close contact to someone who is COVID-19 positive, and
• if there are any positive test results in your household.

Nurse Persigehl will assist with screening your symptoms and walk you through the reporting process if symptoms are deemed COVID-19 related.

The Learning Commons has a collection of calculators which have been left at school by former students and never reclaimed. We created a plan to lend these devices to students who may not be able to obtain their own calculator. Many of the units are showing wear and a few no longer work at all. We are hopeful to restock our supply through donations and are especially in need of TI-83 and TI-84 graphing calculators. If you have a graduating senior or a student no longer taking math classes requiring a graphing calculator, please consider donating your unused devices for use by other students. These units will be added to our collection for checkout and returned at the end of each year. Any donations can be labeled for the Learning Commons and left at the West Door Security Office or dropped off in the Learning Commons. Thank you for your consideration.

Eastview High School's Counseling Office is here to help with lots of information for you and your family. Check out the May 21st counseling newsletter, The Climate Change, today!
