The Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department says clinics offering updated COVID-19 booster doses to children age 5 and younger will begin Thursday, December 29 at the Health Department at 31st and “O” Street.
The walk-in clinic schedule for children under age 5 is as follows:
- Thursday, December 29, 1 to 4:30 p.m.
- Thursday, January 5, 2023, noon to 4 p.m.
- Monday, January 9, 2023, 8 a.m. to noon
- Thursday, January 12, 2023, noon to 4 p.m.
The clinics now offer updated boosters in addition to the COVID-19 primary series. Walk-ins are welcome. Parents/guardians can also schedule an appointment online at COVID19.lincoln.ne.gov or by calling 402-441-4200.
“COVID-19 vaccine and boosters continue to play an important role in keeping younger children active and healthy and help prevent them from becoming seriously ill if they do get the disease,” says Health Director Pat Lopez. “If your child is eligible for an updated booster or if they haven’t yet started the primary series, LLCHD strongly encourages parents to get them vaccinated as soon as possible.”
