Gwinnett school district updates walk-in vaccination clinic schedule

Gwinnett County Public Schools has updated the schedule for its mobile vaccination clinics at certain high schools this and next month.

The clinics offer the two-shot Pfizer vaccine, according to the school district website. Those who are eligible and who completed their initial vaccine series at least six months ago, no matter the brand of U.S.-approved vaccine, may receive booster shots at the clinics.
