Cow Creek Public Health is hosting a free, drive through COVID-19 pediatric vaccine clinic Friday and Saturday, specifically for local families that want to get their children vaccinated.

The clinic runs each day from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at 2360 Northeast Stephens Street, across the street from the Cow Creek Tribal office. This is with the Phizer vaccine for children ages 5 to 11. It was recently approved by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Oregon Health Authority.

No appointments are necessary. The pediatric vaccine will be offered on a first come, first served basis, as quantities are limited. Parents and guardians who bring their children will be required to sign a form of consent. This is a two-dose series, and CCPH will host a sequential clinic for second doses in a few weeks.
