The Glynn County Health Department will offer the updated Pfizer COVID vaccine starting Monday, Oct. 2 for everyone aged 6 months and older.
FILE - A healthcare worker fills a syringe with the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine at Jackson Memorial Hospital on Oct. 5, 2021, in Miami. Lawyers for a group of Navy SEALS and other Navy personnel who oppose a COVID-19 vaccination requirement on religious grounds want a federal appeals court to keep alive their legal fight against the Biden administration, even though the requirement has been lifted.
According to the county, starting Oct. 2, people 5 years old and older are welcome at any time during normal clinic hours. The vaccine for children 6 months to 4 years old will only be offered on Wednesdays from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., and an appointment is necessary. The U.S. Federal Drug and Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently approved updated vaccines by Pfizer and Moderna that include protection against the latest COVID-19 variants that are currently circulating.“Vaccination is especially important as we head into the fall and winter when COVID and other respiratory diseases typically increase across the country,” the news release said. “COVID and flu vaccines can be given at the same time.
If you need to set an appointment for children 6 months to 4 years old, call the Glynn County Health Department at 912-264-3961 to schedule a vaccination.Marcela joined News4JAX in 2023.
