Pomperaug District Department of Health to add COVID vaccine clinics for kids

Pomperaug District Department of Health in Southbury is planning to add more COVID-19 vaccine clinics once Pfizer receives emergency use authorization from the FDA for administration of the shot to 12 to 15 year olds.  Currently only two more clinics have been scheduled by the district, and those are second dose clinics for 16 to 18 year olds at Pomperaug and Oxford High Schools.  The district was winding down because of widespread vaccine availability elsewhere.  Two more clinics will be added at the high schools three weeks after these mid-May doses are given so children can receive their second dose close to home.  Appointments are needed for the 12 to 15 year-olds once they have official approval for the vaccine.
