The Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department says walk-in COVID-19 vaccination clinics have been scheduled at local schools the first week of February. All clinics will offer first and second doses for those age 5 and older, Pfizer booster doses for those age 12 and older, and Moderna booster doses for those age 18 and older.
The schedule is:
- Tuesday, February 1, 3:15 to 6 p.m., Saratoga Elementary School, 2215 S. 13th St.
- Saturday, February 5, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Culler Middle School, 5201 Vine St.
- Sunday, February 6, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., Culler Middle School
Locally, those age 18 and younger made up about 30% of all new COVID-19 cases last week, and those age 10 and younger accounted for 671 new cases last week, more than double from two weeks ago.
More than 65% of all Lancaster County residents are fully vaccinated and over 59% of those age 12 and up have now received a booster or third dose.
The vaccination process usually takes less than an hour. People can also schedule an appointment at covid19.lincoln.ne.gov or by calling 402-441-4200. Additional clinic times and locations are available at covid19.lincoln.ne.gov.
