Golisano Children’s Hospital’s Mobile Pediatric Vaccination Clinic will be making stops around Southwest Florida to vaccinate children age 5+ for COVID-19.

The Mobile Pediatric Vaccination Clinic is tailored especially for children. It’s staffed with a pediatric registered nurse to administer the vaccine. A special Pain Ease spray is on-hand to put on the injection site to alleviate any discomfort or fear of needles that kids sometimes have. Also, the mobile vaccination unit has a pharmacist, EMT or paramedic, and customer service team to assist in the process.

The mobile unit will be set up at schools and various community locations for parents who would like to get their children vaccinated. A parent or authorized guardian must accompany a minor for vaccination. The second dose will be set for the same location or one nearby.

The Mobile Pediatric Vaccination Clinic is walk-up only, and there is no cost for the COVID-19 vaccine, which will be Pfizer. This week stops include:

• Thursday, Nov. 18, 3-6 p.m., Franklin Park Elementary, 2323 Fort St., Fort Myers.

• Friday, Nov. 19, 2-5 p.m., LPG Pediatrics Lehigh Acres, 260 Beth Stacey Blvd, Suite C, Lehigh Acres .

• Saturday, Nov. 20, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., LPG Pediatrics Page Field, 4751 S Cleveland Ave., Fort Myers.
