Wellstar Health System has begun administering COVID-19 vaccinations to children between the ages of 5-11 in a special clinic period continuing through January 2022.
In a news release issued Tuesday, Wellstar said that the clinics, which began in early November for existing system patients, have booked more than 2,000 appointments through January.
The clinics are taking place at two Wellstar facilities, including the East Cobb Health Park (3747 Roswell Road).
“We are incredibly excited by the high demand and interest in pediatric vaccinations and proud of the families who have taken the important step to vaccinate their children to offer some of our youngest patients protection against COVID,” Dr. Avril Beckford, chief pediatric officer for Wellstar Health System, said in the release.
The clinics include waiting rooms for families and parents can schedule follow-up visits, including second vaccine doses, as well as other immunizations.
