Just curious… why can’t homeschooled or private students get vaccinated there? Those families also pay the taxes which fund the public schools, even though they may have opted not to send their child to SPS for whatever reason or special need. Is it because they do not have enough vaccines to share with the other children?

It is due to grant funding. Neighborcare is not a part of SPS, it is one of the organizations that contract with the district through public health. Swedish, Seattle Children’s, Country Doctor and Kaiser also have school-based clinics (not in West Seattle). The grants are specified for SPS kids. Anyone else can go to the Neighborcare clinic at High Point, just not the school-based clinics.

Sorry, comment time is over.
