Hillsborough and Pinellas children ages 5 to 11 can get their COVID-19 vaccination shots at their county health departments.
Pfizer’s pediatric vaccine doses are now available on weekdays at Progress Village Park at 8701 Progress Blvd. in Tampa, according to the Florida Department of Health in Hillsborough County. The facility is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Appointments can be booked in advance, but walk-ins are welcome. To book an appointment, visit patientportalfl.com or call 844-770-8548.
