Officials said first shots for children ages 5 to 11, along with booster shots and third doses for eligible adults will be available at the four clinics. 

“We are working closely with our local pediatricians in this phase of vaccination,” said Kathleen Percacciolo, RN, supervising public health nurse. “We are offering these four Pfizer vaccination opportunities to assist them in their campaign to vaccinate this 5- to 11-year-old age group. 

"Putnam pediatricians have been and continue to be the lead vaccine providers for children. One day COVID vaccination will become as routine as other childhood immunizations. Now, these young children have the chance to join the more than 73,000 residents who have already received their first doses.”
