OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Eligible children may get their COVID-19 vaccination in Oshkosh, starting next week.
The Oshkosh Area School District (OASD) is partnering with the Winnebago County Health Department to host on-site COVID-19 Vaccine Walk-in Clinics at schools for families with children ages 5-11.
Clinics offering the Pfizer COVID-19 for kids will take place:
- Monday, Nov. 8 from 3:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. at Oaklawn Elementary School
- Tuesday, Nov. 16 from 3:30 – 6:30 p.m. at Shapiro STEM Academy.
Follow-up clinics to distribute the second Pfizer dose will take place Nov. 29 at Oaklawn and Dec. 7 at Shapiro.
The onsite vaccine clinics are open to any Oshkosh Area School District students age 5-11, as well as their immediate family members.
Children under 18 must have a parent/guardian present and parent/guardian-signed consent form. No appointment, identification, or insurance required.
About 120 doses will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Those accessing the vaccine clinics are asked to arrive no earlier than 3:30 p.m. once the school day has ended and traffic is reduced. Parking is available in the main parking lots.
A consent form should be completed in advance and is available online.
Individuals cannot be vaccinated at this clinic if they have had an observed allergic reaction (anaphylactic reaction) to any injectable medication or vaccination, OR if they have received any vaccine (including the flu vaccine) within the last 14 days.
Families are also encouraged to reach out to their pediatrician or take advantage of vaccine availability within the Oshkosh community, including Walk-In Wednesdays at Sunnyview Expo Center (500 E. County Road Y) from 1 to 6 p.m. each Wednesday (no appointment necessary).
