COVID-19 VaccineThe MetroHealth System is ready to begin vaccinating children ages 12 to 15 against COVID-19 now that it has been approved by regulators.
“We’ve been anticipating this news for a while now and have processes in place to start vaccinating the kids,” said MetroHealth Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer for Community & Public Health, Brook Watts, MD, MS. “Kids can be signed up for shots in our existing Pfizer vaccination clinics, including our east side Northfield Road location and our west side Pearl Road drive-through clinic. We’ll be able to vaccinate our first 12-15 year olds Thursday and continuing throughout the summer.”
“This is an exciting development and marks another milestone in the return to normal,” said Dr. Lynn Milliner, MetroHealth pediatrician and Associate Director of MetroExpress Care. “These vaccines are safe and effective. It’s our best hope for getting kids into the classroom, summer camps, sports and all those other activities we associate with childhood.”
Getting the COVID-19 vaccine is safe, effective and our best chance to get back to normal this summer.
