A new effort from the Milwaukee Health Department will bring COVID-19 vaccinations to Milwaukee schools in an effort to reach younger children.

The vaccine clinics are a partnership between the Milwaukee Health Department, Milwaukee Public Schools, Seton Catholic Schools and Children’s Wisconsin. There will be 22 clinics in total: 12 at MPS locations, and 10 at Seton Catholic Schools.

The clinics are primarily meant to serve kids aged 5 to 11, as they were recently authorized to receive the Pfizer vaccine for COVID-19. However, the clinics will also be open to the public and offer first, second and booster doses of the Pfizer vaccine.



There also are doses of Johnson & Johnson vaccine available for those over the age of 18.

No appointments are needed for students or the general public. Kids under 18 will need parental permission to get the shot. MPS is providing permission slips for parents to allow their children to get the vaccine. Parents can also accompany their child and give permission.

MPS students who attend schools that are not on the list can get vaccinated at any of these clinics.

Emily Tau, marketing and communications officer for the Milwaukee Health Department, said there will also be flu vaccines administered at the clinics. Kids can get both their COVID-19 and flu shots in the same day, according to recent guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The schedule for the clinics was made with the holidays in mind, allowing the last children to be vaccinated 10 days before Christmas and 14 days before New Year’s.

Guidelines from the CDC state that a person is considered fully vaccinated two weeks after their second shot.

Las escuelas locales están organizando clínicas de vacunas como parte de un nuevo esfuerzo del Departamento de Salud de Milwaukee

Un nuevo esfuerzo del Departamento de Salud de Milwaukee traerá las vacunas COVID-19 a las escuelas de Milwaukee en un esfuerzo por llegar a los niños más pequeños.

Las clínicas de vacunas son una colaboración entre el Milwaukee Health Department, Milwaukee Public Schools, Seton Catholic Schools y Wisconsin ‘s Children. Habrá 22 clínicas en total: 12 en ubicaciones de MPS y 10 en las escuelas católicas de Seton.

Las clínicas están destinadas principalmente a atender a niños de 5 a 11 años, ya que recientemente se les autorizó a recibir la vacuna Pfizer para COVID-19. Sin embargo, las clínicas también estarán abiertas al público y ofrecerán la primera, la segunda y la dosis de refuerzo de la vacuna Pfizer.

También hay dosis de la vacuna Johnson & Johnson disponibles para los mayores de 18 años.

No se necesitan citas para los estudiantes o el público en general. Los niños menores de 18 años necesitarán el permiso de los padres para recibir la vacuna. MPS está proporcionando formularios de permiso para que los padres permitan que sus hijos reciban la vacuna. Los padres también pueden acompañar a sus hijos y darles permiso.

Los estudiantes de MPS que asisten a escuelas que no están en la lista pueden vacunarse en cualquiera de estas clínicas.

Emily Tau, oficial de marketing y comunicaciones del Milwaukee Health Department, dijo que también se administrarán vacunas contra la influenza en las clínicas. Los niños pueden recibir tanto la vacuna COVID-19 como la vacuna contra la gripe el mismo día, según una guía reciente de los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades .

El horario de las clínicas se hizo pensando en las vacaciones, permitiendo que los últimos niños fueran vacunados 10 días antes de Navidad y 14 días antes de Año Nuevo.

Las pautas de los CDC establecen que una persona se considera completamente vacunada dos semanas después de su segunda vacuna.

    I don’t understand this that it said on the news that it would be all Milwaukee schools that would be giving the kids the COVID shot and it and it didn’t happen why would they say things like that
