Beginning Monday, June 27, the LENOWISCO and the Cumberland Plateau Health Districts will offer the Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 6 months through 5 years, following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration.
Because the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) and your local health department have been planning for the expansion of vaccine eligibility and availability, families will have many options for where to get their children the COVID-19 vaccine. Vaccination sites may include:
· Pediatric Offices
· Family practice offices
· Retail pharmacies for children aged 3 years and older
· Local Health Departments
Those wishing to get their children vaccinated at their local health department within the LENOWISCO or Cumberland Plateau Health Districts, may call to make appointments. Vaccine clinic times will vary based upon each health department’s location. Appointments are required.
