Where can my child get vaccinated? A town-by-town guide to upcoming vaccine clinics for 5- to 11-year olds in Connecticut.

COVID-19 vaccinations for children ages 5 to 11 are well underway in Connecticut, with a number of upcoming public vaccination clinics scheduled for locations across the state.

The state Department of Public Health recommends that parents or guardians visit ct.gov/covidvaccine to schedule a vaccination for their child. Parents can also reach out directly to their child’s pediatrician, or to one of the hospitals, pharmacies or clinics administering the vaccine, to make an appointment.

But there are also a wide range of public vaccination clinics scheduled for the coming days in towns across the state, some of which are walk-ups and others which encourage appointments in advance.

Hartford HealthCare announced Thursday that they will vaccinate 2,200 children Saturday at six different clinics statewide, including in Bridgeport, Hartford, New Britain, Norwich, Torrington and Wethersfield.

As of Thursday morning, about 75% of appointments were already filled, officials said. Parents wishing to schedule vaccinations for their children are encouraged to do so online at hartfordhealthcare.org.

Connecticut Children’s, Saint Francis Hospital and the City of Hartford are also hosting a vaccine clinic this Sunday, Nov. 14 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Dunkin’ Donuts Park in Hartford. The clinic will accept walk-ins as well as appointments.

While noting that children are generally less affected by COVID-19 than adults, hospital leaders and health experts have urged parents and guardians to vaccinate their 5 to 11-year-olds.

“Most kids that get COVID-19 don’t get impacted significantly, but there are some that do,” Hartford HealthCare senior system director for infection prevention Keith Grant said. “There are some kids that end up in clinical care, and there are some kids, unfortunately, that die.”
