Hello Hennepin Health member,
Did you know that kids ages 5-11 are eligible to get a COVID-19 vaccine? The CDC recommends that children get the COVID-19 vaccine to protect them and their family and help stop the pandemic.
We know some parents have questions about vaccines for their kids. Dr. Andrea Singh, a pediatrician and mom to two boys, answers some common questions families have about the COVID-19 vaccines for kids ages 5 to 11 in this video on YouTube.com. If you still have questions or concerns, talk with trusted medical sources like your child’s doctor.
Getting your child vaccinated helps keep them in school, sports and other activities. Children who are vaccinated may not have to stay home (quarantine) if they are exposed to someone who has COVID-19.
Our network health care providers are giving free COVID vaccinations. Go to your clinic website to schedule an appointment and for more information.
Hennepin County is offering a $50 gift card to people ages 5 and older who receive a COVID-19 vaccine shot at any Hennepin County vaccine event (while supplies last). See a list of upcoming county vaccine events at hennepin.us/vaccineregistration.
If you need transportation, interpreter services or have any questions about the COVID-19 vaccine, call our Member Services team at 612-596-1036 (TTY 1-800-627-3529).
