Walk-in Vaccination Clinics Scheduled for February 1, 5 and 6

Published on January 28, 2022

The Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department (LLCHD) and partners will host walk-in COVID-19 vaccination clinics at local schools the first week of February. All clinics will offer first and second doses for those age 5 and older, Pfizer booster doses for those age 12 and older, and Moderna booster doses for those age 18 and older.

The schedule is as follows:

• Tuesday, February 1, 3:15 to 6 p.m., Saratoga Elementary School, 2215 S. 13th St.
• Saturday, February 5, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Culler Middle School, 5201 Vine St.
• Sunday, February 6, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., Culler Middle School

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, COVID-19 hospitalizations for children and teens in the U.S. recently hit an all-time high. Locally, those age 18 and younger made up about 30% of all new cases last week, and those age 10 and younger accounted for 671 new cases last week, more than double from two weeks ago.

Vaccines are safe and effective and being fully vaccinated and boosted helps protect children and adults from serious illness and hospitalization from COVID-19. Vaccination is also a critical tool in reducing the impact of the omicron variant on the community and health care system. The Health Department urges residents to get vaccinated or boosted now.

More than 65% of all Lancaster County residents are fully vaccinated and over 59% of those age 12 and up have now received a booster or third dose.

The vaccination process usually takes less than an hour. People can also schedule an appointment at covid19.lincoln.ne.gov or by calling 402-441-4200. Additional clinic times and locations are available at covid19.lincoln.ne.gov.
