The Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal is hosting a COVID-19 vaccine pop-up on Saturday, June 26, specifically aimed at those ages 12-17.
The clinic — a partnership with TriHealth — will be providing free Pfizer vaccines from 10 a.m.-1 p.m.
The Pfizer vaccine employs a two-dose system. After receiving the first dose this week, individuals can schedule their second dose.
Walk-ins are welcome, but there is also a registration portal at trihealth.com.
“To make the vaccine more accessible to the community, guests will not be required to pay admission to the museums to receive their vaccine on those dates,” reads a release. “As an added incentive, every guest who receives their vaccine at the museum that day will get one ticket for free admission.”
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention authorized Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine for children ages 12 and up in May. Previously, the Pfizer vaccine had been approved only for people ages 16 and older.
The COVID-19 vaccines from Moderna and Johnson & Johnson remain available for those who are 18 and older.
The Cincinnati Museum Center is located at 1301 Western Ave., Queensgate.
