Miami Dade Begins Giving the COVID-19 Vaccine to Children Under 5 – NBC 7 Miami (51)

This weekend’s journey in South Florida began with several parents looking for the vaccine for their young children, after the county began providing the possibility of getting vaccinated.

“Thank God we were the first, we are already going home, the service is very good,” said Graciela Moses, mother of one of the girls vaccinated this Saturday.

And it is that in Miami-Dade the first vaccinated children under 5 years of age are already seen and thanks to the county campaign they are provided free of charge against COVID-19, this measure began today and presumably would be until Wednesday, June 29 .

“Some people do not want it, I am very open, and I do not have any problem, but I would say that it is better to prevent than to be sorry later,” warned the mother.

This occurs after the authorization of the FDA and allowing children under 5 years of age to be vaccinated against COVID-19, although we must remember that Florida is the only state in the country that has not pre-ordered doses of these vaccines.

Graciela Moses, who is the mother of a vaccinated little girl, says that “it is a good opportunity because one always has a concern about what could happen without having her at school, normally there are many children who, having the vaccine, one calms down much more” .

Independently Miami Dade has partnered with Nomi Health to offer immunizations to children ages six months and older at eight different locations throughout the county where you can find them at:

  • Tropical Park, 7900 SW 40th Street Miami FL 33155
  • Dolphin Mall, 11401 NW 12th Street Miami FL 33172

  • Harris Field, 675 North Homestead Blvd Homestead FL 33030
  • Miami Dade College (North Campus), 11380 NW 27th Ave Miami FL 33167

It is important that parents check the web pages of the enabled sites to find out about availability and make appointments if necessary, the family could also be vaccinated as long as the priority in these points is children between 6 months and 5 years.
