You must register for an appointment for the clinic, which will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the high school. The Will County Health Department will begin offering the Pfizer pediatric COVID-19 vaccine on Monday to children ages 5 to 11, according to a news release from the health department. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention approved Wednesday the use of the vaccine for children. The pediatric vaccine will be available at the Will County Health Department vaccine clinics, as well as at several clinics held at schools across the county, including in Bolingbrook, according to the release. The Pfizer pediatric COVID-19 vaccine will be given in a two-dose series given three weeks apart, according to the release. "We are proud to offer this important vaccine to younger children in our county," said Sue Olenek, executive director of the Will County Health Department. "The more people we have fully vaccinated, the closer we get to herd immunity, and decrease the opportunity for the virus to continue to mutate." The vaccine will also be available at the Will County Health Department, located at 501 Ella Ave. in Joliet, on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
