Princeton Hosts Children's Vaccine Clinics

PRINCETON, NJ — On Monday, Princeton University will be hosting a vaccine clinic open to children five and older, the university announced on its COVID resource page.

On Monday from 12 to 6 p.m., the university will host a clinic to give doses of the CDC-approved Pfizer vaccine. The clinic is open to both children and adults, but the university said that Monday’s clinic is geared toward children, and only limited adult doses will be available.

Similar clinics will be held from Wednesday from 12 to 6 p.m., and again at the same time of day on Nov. 17 (this clinic will end at 3 p.m.), Dec. 1, Dec. 8, and Dec. 15.

The clinics will be held at the Jadwin Gymnasium. The university recommends that parents and guardians of children under the age of 8 should check to see if their pediatrician has vaccines available in their office.

The university will also host Moderna clinics Nov. 11, Nov. 18, Dec. 2, Dec. 9, and Dec. 16 from 12 to 3 p.m., but those are only open to adults 18 and older. Boosters, as well as first, second, and third doses will be available at these clinics.

Appointments are recommended but not mandatory, though the university warns against limited capacity and long wait times. Appointments can be made through the New Jersey Vaccine Scheduling System.

Any questions can be directed to covidvaccines@princeton.edu, or by calling the university’s COVID support line at 609-258-7000 from 8:45 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST.
