Free Flu & COVID Clinics for Kids 6mo-18yrs
The St. Mary’s County Health Department (SMCHD) is hosting free flu and COVID vaccine clinics for children aged six months to 18 years. These clinics are a proactive measure to protect children in the community. No appointments are necessary.
Due to the ongoing pandemic, SMCHD has decided to organize these clinics independently rather than partnering with St. Mary’s County Public Schools as they have done in the past. The dates and locations of the clinics have already been set to provide convenient options for parents.
Vaccinations are essential in preventing infections and serious illnesses from the flu and COVID-19. Dr. Meena Brewster, St. Mary’s County Health Officer, emphasizes the significance of these clinics and encourages parents to take advantage of them.
In addition to SMCHD clinics, local pharmacies and medical practices are also offering flu and COVID-19 vaccines. However, it is important to check for any age restrictions that may apply.
If you have any questions or concerns about vaccinations, the St. Mary’s County Health Department is available to assist you. Contact them at 301-475-4330.
Remember, getting your child vaccinated is an important step in protecting them from the flu and COVID-19. Take advantage of these free clinics and help keep your kids healthy this season. Stay informed and stay safe!
