Anne Arundel County Public School: AACPS, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TEAM UP TO OFFER THIRD ROUND OF COVID-19 VACCINATION CLINICS FOR CHILDREN ...

Press release from Anne Arundel County Public School:

January 11, 2022

Anne Arundel County Public Schools and the Anne Arundel Department of Health are again teaming up to offer a third round of COVID-19 Pfizer vaccination clinics for children ages 5 to 11 at six elementary schools beginning next week.

The clinics follow similar ones at 28 elementary schools across the county where more than 1,700 children received vaccinations.

The clinics, which will run from 5 to 7:30 p.m., are first-dose clinics. Children who previously received first dose have already been provided information for second-dose clinics.

Sites and dates for the third round of clinics are as follows:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention gave formal approval to administer the vaccines on November 2. Children ages 5 to 11 will require two shots three weeks apart to be fully vaccinated. Second doses will be administered at the same schools as first doses, and families of children who receive first doses will receive reminders from the Department of Health to schedule the second doses.

All children must be accompanied by an adult at the vaccine site.

Registration links for all school-based clinics can be found at www.aacps.org/covidvaccines. To provide equitable access for all interested families, links for clinics will be made public at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, January 12.

Information regarding Department of Health clinics held outside of school facilities can be found at www.aacounty.org/covidvax.
