Pediatric COVID Vaccines for Children 5-11
On Tuesday, November 2, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommended the Pfizer COVID vaccine for children who are 5-11 years old. Effective Monday, November 8, Pfizer COVID vaccines will be available for this age group at Nash UNC’s COVID Vaccine Walk-In Clinic at Nash Day Hospital. Vaccines are free and do not require insurance or a photo ID.
The current hours of operation for Nash UNC’s Vaccine Clinic are Monday-Friday from 8 am – 4 pm. In an effort to better accommodate children who need to receive their vaccine outside of traditional school hours, the clinic will offer extended hours on Thursdays from 8 am until 6 pm. To help with the initial influx of pediatric patients, Thursday, November 11 will be dedicated to pediatric vaccines and scheduling an appointment is strongly recommended.
Those who have questions or would like to make an appointment for a specific time, schedule a homebound visit, or coordinate a community vaccine event, can call Nash UNC's Community Vaccination Line at (252) 962-8624 or schedule online at YourShot.org.
Please note: Pediatric vaccine supply may be limited initially due to federal distribution. Nash UNC will be closely monitoring supply, and if we see that we are close to running low and do not have confirmation of our next shipment of pediatric doses, we will communicate via local media and Nash UNC’s Facebook page.
