Children’s COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic Tomorrow at Maritime Center
From the Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk & the Norwalk Health DepartmentKids ages 5 to 11 can receive their vaccination against COVID-19 on Wed., Nov. 17 at The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk, with the bonus reward of a discounted return visit.
The Norwalk Health Department will offer first-dose Pfizer vaccinations to children in The Maritime Aquarium from 4 to 7 p.m. Each child will go home with protection against the virus and a coupon for a return visit to the Aquarium: a free child’s admission with one paying adult (a $19.95 value).
For the free vaccination shot, children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, who are asked – but not required – to bring their insurance cards. (Wednesday’s clinic does not include admission to the Aquarium. But children will be monitored, post-shot, for at least 15 minutes at a window into the Aquarium’s big new harbor seal exhibit, “Pinniped Cove.”)
Appointments are required. Learn more and make appointments at www.norwalkct.org/2396/COVID-19-Vaccine-Information. Or call (203) 854-7985.
Enter at the Group Entrance door, near the Aquarium’s main entrance. Validations will be available for those who park in the Maritime Garage.
The Norwalk Health Department will hold a second-dose clinic at the Aquarium on Thurs., Dec. 9.
