More Kids' COVID-19 Vaccine Appointments Available From Burlington Co.

WESTAMPTON, NJ — Children aged 5 years and younger can receive their COVID-19 vaccine from the Burlington County Health Department in Westampton, the county said.

The CDC began recommending the COVID-19 vaccine in children of these ages last month.

Those wishing to have their child vaccinated via the Burlington County Health Department must make an appointment during one of the following times:

• Thursday, July 21, from 2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.
• Friday, July 22, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
• Thursday, July 28, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
• Friday, July 29, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

To make an appointment, click this link.

The appointments for your child's subsequent doses of the vaccine will be made once the first vaccine is administered, the county said.

The county's first round of COVID-19 vaccine appointments filled within a few days.

Therefore, if all the slots at the link are filled, or the times listed above do not fit you or your child's schedule, the COVID-19 vaccine mega site at the Moorestown Mall also offers the shots to children aged 5 years and younger, a spokesperson for Burlington County said.
