Childhood COVID-19 vaccination clinics announced for 5-11yrs

by Brooke Moore / Monday, 21 February 2022 / Published in News, Public Health

The Public Health Department has announced COVID-19 vaccination clinics for children ages 5 – 11, following the arrival of the paediatric vaccine last week.  The childhood vaccination clinics are by appointment-only and will be offered throughout the districts in Grand Cayman and in the Sister Islands.

Appointments required. Please contact the Public Health Clinic (Mon – Fri 8:30am – 3:00pm) at 926-8152 or 926-8733 (Grand Cayman) or 244-7643 (Sister Islands). Please bring along the child’s immunisation record.

Dr Samuel Williams-Rodriguez, Medical Officer of Health, stated that the vaccine has gone through quality control checks and will be rolled out starting this week. “Public Health nurses will be administering these vaccines at the dedicated clinics according to the newly released schedule,” said Dr Williams-Rodriguez.  “The vaccine for children (pediatric presentation) will be administered 12 weeks apart between the first and second dose. For those vulnerable children who already received the first dose with the adult COVID-19 vaccine, the second dose will be given at least 8 weeks apart and they have been scheduled accordingly.”

“We are very fortunate to be able to provide vaccination coverage for the children of the Cayman Islands, especially as we further ease restrictions and welcome more visitors to our shores”, said Hon Sabrina Turner, Minister of Health & Wellness. “I implore parents and guardians to do their best research on the vaccines, have open dialogue with their children about why being vaccinated against COVID-19 is so important and to take advantage of the protection available for their children.”
