Dear Parents and Guardians,
The CDC has approved the Pfizer vaccine for our 5-11 year old population and clinics are scheduled to begin Monday, November 8th. The Vermont Department of Health will be holding clinics for 5-11 year old children throughout the state.
Registration:
- Families wishing to register their child should go to the following link https://vermont.force.com/events/s/selfregistration. If the child has been tested for COVID-19 through the health department, they should already have a registration profile on this site. If they don’t have a registration profile, families will need to create one. Parents who have an account should link their children as dependents by going to their own account rather than creating a separate registration with each child. This will negate the need for a separate, personal email per child.
- Parents who have no internet access can call to register their child at the following number: 855-722-7878 trained operators will go through the registration questions with you.
- Here is the fact sheet about the Pfizer vaccine for 5-11 year olds: Pfizer vaccine information
- Informational forums on pediatric vaccines are available through the American Academy of Pediatrics for Vermont (AAPVT.) These are accessible at the following website: http://www.aapvt.org/news/join-us-conversation-about-covid-19-vaccines-children
While there are clinics at a variety of locations across the state, here are some in Springfield.
