The Shames JCC and Marinelli's Village Pharmacy are Partnering to Hold a Community COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic for Children Ages 5-11

Welcome to The Shames JCC and Marinelli's Village Pharmacy's partnership initiative to hold a community COVID-19 vaccine clinic exclusively for children aged 5-11. As part of our commitment to keeping our community safe and healthy, we have come together to provide a convenient and accessible vaccination opportunity for our younger population.

Why Vaccinating Children is Vital

Vaccinating children against COVID-19 is a crucial step in controlling the spread of the virus and achieving herd immunity. While children generally experience milder symptoms compared to adults, they can still become infected and spread the virus to others, including vulnerable individuals.

By vaccinating children, we can help protect not only their own health but also the well-being of their families, friends, teachers, and the broader community. It is an essential tool in our collective fight against the pandemic.
