Ben Olson places 2nd at MSHSL Track & Field State Meet
Congratulations Ben!
Children Ages 6 Months and Older Are Now Eligible to Get Vaccinated!
- Children age 6 months to 5 years should get either the Pfizer vaccine or Moderna vaccine for this age group.
- The vaccines for this age group are a smaller dose than the vaccines for older children and adults.
- The vaccines for these children are packaged differently, so you will need to go to a location that has the vaccine that is right for your child based on their age.
- Your child will need multiple doses of this vaccine — this is called the primary vaccine series.
- The Pfizer vaccine for this age group is three doses. You can get the second dose 3-8 weeks after the first dose and your third dose 8 weeks after the second dose. Your provider can help you schedule your second and third shot while getting your first.
- The Moderna vaccine for this age group is two doses. You can get the second dose 4-8 weeks after the first dose. Your provider can help you schedule your second shot while getting your first.
- Talk to your provider if you have questions about either type of vaccine or which vaccine is right for your child
Masking rules for children ages 3 and 4 will change July 5, 2022
With this vaccination opportunity for all ages of children from 6 months and up, CHPS will change the masking rules so that beginning July 5, 2022 masks for all children will be recommended but not required. This means that children ages 3 and 4 will no longer be required to wear masks when inside. This plan may change as we continue to navigate the surges of COVID.
