“Our children have waited the longest for a vaccine and have been incredible at wearing masks and doing their best to stop the spread of COVID at school,” said Dr. Noelle Bissell, Director of the New River Health District. “We are happy we can finally offer them a vaccine and want to welcome them and their parents to as stress-free of a location as we can create.”
