Today the CDC approved use of the Pfizer vaccine for children 12 and older. San Juan County has pre-planned Pfizer clinics on each of the islands, with the first scheduled for this Saturday on Orcas Island. Detailed info on all clinics is available at www.sanjuanco.com/1737/COVID-Vaccine-Info
Note that registration will not open until final authorization from the State of WA has been granted. Hopefully by early tomorrow (Thursday). Please monitor the link above for the latest information.
A detailed video Q&A with SJC public health experts about the decision, the vaccine, and potential concerns is available above.
