LTHS Holds COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic

LOCKPORT, IL — The Will County Health Department and the Lockport Township Fire Protection District completed second round vaccinations for 1,600 eligible individuals, primarily senior citizens, at the East Campus of Lockport Township High School last weekend, the school said in a release.

The high school, with its large space and accessibility, was ideally suited for this undertaking, the school said.

"The challenges in the vaccination process have been getting information and appointments, "LTHS Superintendent Dr. Robert McBride said. We're fortunate we could partner with Will County Executive Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, the Will County Health Department, and the Lockport Township Fire Protection District to offer our facility to those seniors who have invested in our school for so many years."

On Saturday and Sunday, the fire district, LTHS staff, and student volunteers will be back again. This time, 3,200 doses will be administered, the school said.

The clinic is by appointment only. Registration for the vaccination clinic is through the county's sign-up.
