The health department continues to offer the updated COVID-19 vaccine for children 18 and younger who are eligible for the Vaccines for Children program. This includes children who do not have health insurance, those with a Medicaid insurance plan, or those who are American Indian or Alaska Native. Additionally, SMCHD is offering the updated COVID-19 vaccine for uninsured adults.
Appointments for the updated COVID-19 vaccine can be scheduled at the SMCHD Health Clinic in Leonardtown by calling 301-475-4330.
“Vaccination remains a key part of preventing serious illness from COVID-19,” said Dr. Meena Brewster, St. Mary’s County health officer. “Our team hopes this clinic will help parents get their children the updated COVID-19 vaccine. Please talk with your child’s health care provider about timing the new vaccine if your child has recently had COVID-19 infection or another COVID-19 vaccine.”
