Beginning the week of July 11, 2022, the Chickahominy Health District will offer the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines for children ages 6 months through 4 or 5 years old, following guidance from the CDC and the Food and Drug Administration.
Families have several options for where to get their children the COVID-19 vaccine. Vaccination sites may include:
- Local Health Departments (including Charles City, Goochland, Hanover, and New Kent)
- Community Clinics (managed by the Local Health Department)
- Pediatric & Family Medicine Offices
- Federally Qualified Health Centers
- Retail Pharmacies (for children ages 3 years and older)
Those wishing to get their children vaccinated at a Chickahominy Health District clinic (either at the Local Health Department or at one of the special community-based clinics) should make an appointment by contacting the district’s COVID-19 Call Center: 804-365-3240 or by requesting an appointment online: https://tinyurl.com/VaxCHD. The district will be holding special clinics – catered for this youngest age group – during the months of July and August. These health district clinics will be conducted by appointment only and a parent and/or guardian must accompany their children.
