“St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones met with Affinia Healthcare officials on Wednesday and said clinics should make the COVID-19 vaccination process as comfortable as possible for young children.

“Pediatric vaccination is critical to protect not just our children and our schools but all of our loved ones especially our elderly,” said Jones during the meeting. “We need to reach kids where they are, in places where they’re comfortable, in places where they feel familiar.”

The mayor said the city is working with area schools to establish vaccine clinics for kids, ages 5 to 11, who are eligible to receive the Pfizer shot. She said the vaccine is safe and effective and the key to protecting families, schools, and communities.”
