The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently approved children between the ages of 5 to 11 to receive the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. TCC will be hosting a Children’s Vaccine clinic each Saturday through the 20th for kids in this age range to receive the COVID-19 vaccine and their flu shot.
The clinic is open to kids between the ages of 5-11 who are household members of TCC employees or current TCC patients. To make an appointment please call 907-451-6682.
Children must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. All patients will be required to wait 15-30 minutes after receiving their vaccination to ensure there are no adverse reactions. During the initial vaccination appointment a follow-up appointment will be made for three weeks later to administer the second dose in the two-dose series for the Pfizer vaccine. Only the Pfizer vaccine will be available as this is the only COVID-19 currently authorized by the FDA and the CDC for use in the 5 to 11 year age group.
