Now that January is in full swing, it’s time to start making plans for the coming weeks and months. There’s the start of a new school semester, spring sports and activities, and Spring Break plans to make. In order for our kids to be able to fully participate in all the fun activities coming up, we need to make sure they can do so safely. The best way to protect our kids and everyone in our families is to get them vaccinated against COVID-19. COVID vaccines are safe, and now everyone ages 5 and older can get a vaccine.
Fortunately, in a city as large as Houston, there are many locations ready to vaccinate the whole family.
Houston Moms is proud to partner with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to share with our readers where they can get COVID vaccines for themselves and their children.
How to find a COVID Vaccine
COVID vaccines are free and easily accessible in our communities for everyone age 5 and older, regardless of health or immigration status. Here are few ways to find vaccines near you:
- Visit vaccines.gov
- Text your ZIP code to 438829 (GETVAX)
- Call 1-800-232-0233
- Talk to your health care provider or your child’s pediatrician about any other questions you may have about the COVID vaccines.
- Contact your child’s pediatrician or their school for vaccine availability. Many schools and health care providers are offering vaccine clinics to make it easier for children to get vaccinated.
