More opportunities for ages 5-11 to get COVID-19 vaccine

The Juneau Public Health Center has added additional opportunities for kids ages 5-11 to get the two-dose Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Sign up your child at juneau.org/vaccine or 586-6000.

Including tomorrow’s pediatric clinic, here are available times:

• Thursday, November 11, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. at Riverbend Elementary School
• Tuesday, November 16, 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. at Juneau Public Health Center
• Tuesday, November 23, 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. at Juneau Public Health Center

For parents who would like their child to receive a flu shot at the same time, the flu vaccine will also be available at these clinics, as an add-on.

Youth ages 5-11 must be accompanied by a parent/legal guardian or a caregiver. If a parent/legal guardian isn’t able to be there, a caregiver is required to bring a printed and completed parent permission form to the clinic appointment.

Learn more about COVID-19 vaccines for children on this CDC webpage or this Alaska Health and Social Services information sheet.
