COVID-19 shots now available for children ages 5-11
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now recommends that everyone ages 5 and older get vaccinated to help protect against COVID-19. Although children are at a lower risk of becoming severely ill with COVID-19 compared to adults, children can be infected and get sick from the virus that causes COVID-19. Children can also spread COVID-19 to others and suffer from short- and long-term complications from the disease.
Door County Public Health has scheduled vaccination clinics specifically designed for children ages 5-11 to receive age-appropriate doses of the Pfizer vaccine. The vaccinations are free, regardless of immigration or insurance status. Appointments are required. A parent must sign a consent form, and a responsible adult must accompany the minor to the vaccination appointment.
Vaccination clinics for children ages 5-11 only are available by appointment only on Nov. 12 and Dec. 3, 4-6 pm; and Dec. 1, 3-6 pm. They will take place at the Aging and Disability Resource Center, 916 N. 14th Ave. in Sturgeon Bay.
