Update: Wednesday, 1:26 p.m. Due to tremendous response from the community, there are no longer any COVID-19 vaccination appointment slots available for 5- to 11-year-olds during the Fall Community Resource Festival at Kate Collins Middle School on Saturday.
Anyone who signed up will be receiving registration information shortly. We are still accepting walk-ins for COVID-19 vaccines for anyone 12 and up as space allows.
There are plenty of opportunities for 5- to 11-year-olds to get their COVID-19 vaccine throughout the Central Shenandoah Health District, including local pharmacies, health departments and pediatricians. CSHD staff will be onsite to assist families seeking vaccines for children ages 5-11 at the Resource Festival on Saturday.
