Harford County Health Offers Children COVID-19 Vaccine Clinics

HARFORD COUNTY, MD — The Harford County Health Department is offering clinics for children to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

Kids 5 to 11 years old are eligible to get the COVID-19 vaccine, after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention authorized the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for children.

The clinics in Harford County are slated for Wednesday, Nov. 10, in Edgewood and Friday, Nov. 12, in Bel Air.

Wednesday's clinic will be for kids 5 to 11 years old; Friday's clinic will be open to those age 5 to 17.
