Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) will be at Farrell B. Howell ECE-8 School on Monday, December 6th from 1 PM to 7 PM to provide COVID-19 vaccines for anyone age 5 or older. (As a reminder, students will not have classes on Monday, December 6th due to a school-scheduled teacher workday.)

Children age 5 to 11: Make an appointment* here: https://www.comassvax.org//appointment/en/reg/7369960121       (Formulario de registro en español.)
Persons age 12 or older: Walk-in anytime between 1p-7p and complete paperwork at the event.

This will be the final clinic of 2021 at Farrell B. Howell ECE-8 School; get your family vaccinated before the holidays and help prevent the spread of the highly contagious variants. The CDC recommends that everyone age 5 and older be vaccinated against COVID-19.

*We ask that parents make the appointment during a time in which you can come to school to walk your student through the clinic, we have limited staffing and will not be able to individually pull students from class to take them through the clinic. We appreciate your understanding and assistance.

COVID-19 cases in children can result in hospitalizations, deaths, MIS-C (inflammatory syndromes) and long-term complications, such as “long COVID,” in which symptoms can linger for months. Vaccination, along with other preventative measures, can protect children from COVID-19 using the safe and effective vaccines already recommended for use in adolescents and adults in the United States. Similar to what was seen in adult vaccine trials, vaccination was nearly 91 percent effective in preventing COVID-19 among children aged 5-11 years. In clinical trials, vaccine side effects were mild, self-limiting, and similar to those seen in adults and with other vaccines recommended for children. The most common side effect was a sore arm.
