GeneIQ Partners with Area School Districts to Host COVID-19 Vaccine Clinics Exclusive to 5- to 11-Year-Old Children

DALLAS, Nov. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- GeneIQ Vaccine Direct, a division of GeneIQ, has recently partnered with Carrollton-Farmers Branch, Dallas, Irving and Richardson Independent School Districts to offer free COVID-19 vaccinations to children aged five to eleven years upon the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's recent authorization of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for this demographic. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends pediatric COVID-19 vaccination for children ages five to eleven years.

At each vaccination site, an on-site medical team is provided by GeneIQ Vaccine Direct, along with a registration platform, to ensure efficient processing and that all state reporting requirements are met. Patients can receive the vaccine at no cost with insurance or through the federal government program for the uninsured.

The announcement comes as GeneIQ expands its ongoing partnerships with local schools, corporations, and community organizations to provide various COVID-19 services to public and private institutions, including a recent partnership with Texas Woman's University (TWU) to provide weekly COVID-19 testing mandatory to enrolled unvaccinated students, faculty and staff on all three campuses in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. GeneIQ also has on-going partnerships with Tarrant County and Dallas Colleges providing COVID-19 testing at the majority of each school's area campuses.

GeneIQ has hosted over 130 vaccine clinics in the past 90 days and has administered thousands of vaccines locally year-to-date.
