Mayor Muriel Bowser and DC Health shared a plan Friday to distribute the pediatric Covid vaccine to kids ages five to 11 years old. The city anticipates it will receive 24,600 doses of the pediatric Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine in November after final approval from the CDC.
Once the two-dose vaccine clears regulatory hurdles, the shot will be available at pharmacies, health clinics, and Children’s National Hospital’s eight primary care locations. (The pediatric hospital will also dispatch its mobile unit to bring the vaccine directly to communities.) Notably, at the onset of inoculation, the vaccine will not be available at DC’s walk-up vaccination clinics for those ages 12 and older. However, the government will be unveiling a series of pop-up vaccination sites for kids at elementary schools in each ward.
These are the locations and dates of DC’s government-operated vaccination sites for children ages five to 11:
