Last year, the vast majority of games, matches, etc., were canceled due to quarantines, not positive cases.
The CDC, Arkansas Department of Health, and the Governor’s office have all stated that the standard for this school year is for all school-aged students 12 years old and up that are fully vaccinated no longer have to quarantine after exposure to someone with COVID-19. They can continue attending school and participating in extracurricular activities.
The AAA Office encourages everyone who is 12 years old and up and eligible to get vaccinated. Linked below is an Arkansas Department of Health COVID-19 Immunization Consent Form. This is the Consent Form for anyone over the age of 18, and it is the Parent Consent Form for anyone 12-17 years old (https://files.constantcontact.com/b902e441701/344da446-67d1-41b3-b0fc-f162a5acbc0f.pdf)
There is no out-of-pocket expense for the vaccine. For those that do not have insurance, the vaccine will be available at no charge. Contact the Arkansas Department of Health by calling 1-800-985-6030 or visit healthy.arkansas.gov to find a vaccine clinic near you!
