STATEWIDE (Dec. 17, 2021) — As part of the state’s continuing outreach and COVID-19 vaccination campaign, a special mobile vaccine clinic will be held at Camp Christmas on Tuesday, Dec. 21 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a free entry voucher giveaway for anyone aged 5 and up getting a vaccine. Appointments are strongly encouraged. The mobile COVID-19 clinic will be held in the parking lot of Camp Christmas, an over-the-top outdoor extravaganza as big as the holiday it celebrates. Located at Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park (801 South Yarrow St., Lakewood, CO 80226), internationally-noted visual installation artist Lonnie Hanzon uses the park’s historic structures along with six acres of outdoor space to create a whimsical winter wonderland unlike any other, where people can snag the perfect holiday photo and enjoy mesmerizing yuletide scenes.

All bus vaccine clinics and many standalone clinics are offering pediatric Pfizer vaccines for 5-11 year olds. CDPHE recommends parents and guardians make a plan to get their children vaccinated. Vaccines are the safest, most effective way to slow the spread of COVID-19 and help avoid the worst outcomes — severe illness, hospitalization, and death — among those who do become infected. The state maintains an updated list of providers administering Pfizer pediatric vaccines. Many clinics also offer flu vaccines, and it is safe to receive a COVID-19 vaccine and a flu vaccine on the same day.
