NIAGARA COUNTY, N.Y. (WKBW) — The Niagara County Department of Health says it will allow children ages 12 and up to receive the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, and plans on holding several clinics to get kids vaccinated.
The county is administering vaccines at the following dates, times, and locations
1628 Quaker Road, Barker
374 Lake Street, Wilson
4061 Creek Road, Youngstown
2700 Transit Road, Newfane

“Now that federal and state officials have authorized the Pfizer vaccine for children as young as 12, it is important for parents and caregivers to take advantage of this expanded access to the free vaccine for their children before next school year,” stated Public Health Director Daniel J. Stapleton. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech) is 95% effective at preventing laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 illness in people without evidence of previous infection. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reported that trials showed the Pfizer vaccine was 100% effective and presented no serious safety concerns in adolescents."
