COUNTY HOLDING MOBILE VACCINE CLINICS

[Madison, IN] The Indiana Department of Health has announced that Hoosiers age 12 and older can begin receiving a free COVID-19. The Jefferson County Health Department will begin offering Pfizer vaccine on Friday, May 14, 2021, visit https://ourshot.in.gov, or call 211 if you do not have access to a computer or require assistance. Appointments are recommended, but walk-ins are permitted. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommended the use of the Pfizer vaccine for this new age group on Wednesday following the FDA’s expansion of the vaccine’s Emergency Use Authorization. The Pfizer vaccine is the only one of the three COVID-19 vaccines that is currently approved for use in individuals younger than age 18. “The Pfizer vaccine is safe and effective at preventing COVID-19 and was well tolerated by adolescents participating in clinical trials,” said State Health Commissioner Kris Box, M.D., FACOG. “This vaccine is the next step toward getting back to normal for children who have missed out on so much over the past year, including school and extracurricular activities. Those who are fully vaccinated will no longer have to quarantine if they are a close contact of a positive case unless they develop symptoms of COVID. That is welcome news for both children and parents.” An adult must accompany a child age 12 to 15 to the appointment; parental consent is required for minors. The Jefferson County Health Department will be hosting mobile COVID vaccine clinics. No appointment is necessary for the mobile clinics. Everyone 12 years of age and older are eligible. We will return to the same location four weeks later to administer second doses.
