The Southern Nevada Health District on Wednesday will start administering COVID-19 vaccines to children 6 months to 5 years old, health officials said.
The district will offer the Pfizer vaccine, a three-dose series, at its clinics at the College of Southern Nevada’s West Charleston and North Las Vegas campuses, the Galleria at Sunset mall, the Boulevard Mall inside El Mercado and the Southern Nevada Community Health Center clinic at 280 S. Decatur Blvd.
The Moderna vaccine, a two-dose series, will also be available at the Decatur Boulevard clinic, officials said.
Children can be vaccinated with whichever vaccine is available, officials said.
Children who have already had COVID-19 should still get vaccinated, officials said. The vaccine can provide added protection from the coronavirus, officials said.
Children who have been infected with COVID-19 can get the vaccine three months from when their symptoms started or they received a positive test, officials said.
More information about COVID-19 vaccinations for children is available on the CDC website. Health District COVID-19 clinic location information is available here.
