SAN MATEO, Calif. (KRON) – COVID-19 vaccines will be offered to children at eight sites across San Mateo County this month, according to the health department.
For the month of January, the Pfizer vaccine will be offered to children ages 5 to 11.
The health department says boosters and vaccines for other age groups will not be offered at this time.
Making an appointment through MyTurn is encouraged, but they are not required.
Vaccinating children can:
- protect them from getting sick, particularly children with underlying medical conditions who are more at risk for severe illness
- help keep them in school
- participate safely in group activities like sports and playdates
- protect family members, including siblings not eligible for vaccination and those at increased risk of getting sick if infected
