A new series of vaccination clinics set for February and March will help those 5 and older get vaccinated
Henrico, Va., Feb. 9, 2022 — A new series of free COVID-19 vaccination clinics in February and March will provide convenient opportunities for those age 5 or older to get immunized against coronavirus. The first clinic will be held Thursday from 4-7 p.m. at Pinchbeck Elementary School. The clinics will provide doses of the two-part vaccine series, as well as boosters to those who completed their initial series at least five months ago. Those under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to receive vaccines. The clinics are being organized by the Richmond and Henrico Health Districts in conjunction with Henrico County Public Schools and its partners that provide after-school programs: the YMCA, the Henrico Education Foundation and the Henrico Police Athletic League, or PAL. The clinics will be held at sites that host after-school programs, but all are open to the public.
