Children ages 12-15 now receiving vaccines through UVA Health Seminole Square vaccination clinic By Andrew Webb | May 14, 2021 at 3:25 PM EDT - Updated May 14 at 3:25 PM
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Children ages 12-15 are now receiving COVID-19 vaccines through the University of Virginia Health System.
Appointments are required, but as of May 14, children between 12 and 15 are able to get the COVID-19 vaccine at the Seminole Square vaccination site.
Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
For Jennifer Menitree, accompanying her children to get vaccinated is a step in the right direction.
“It’s always a little concerning even more so with children than it is with an adult but we trust the medical system and we feel really good about how things are moving on,” she said.

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - There are now more than 160,000 Mississippians who are newly eligible to receive the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.
The website for scheduling appointments at the state-run vaccines now allows appointments for those as young as 12. You can also check with your local pediatrician, pharmacy or clinic. But remember, it is a two-dose vaccine and your child will need to go back three weeks later for dose two.
After a full school year of quarantining and COVID-precautions, there’s a new tool in preventing spread of the virus in children as young as 12.

Not even 24 hours later, the slots were almost completely filled up. Weâve had a really great response.
