January 7, 2022

SOLANO COUNTY –– The Solano County Department of Health and Social Services, Public Health division, in accordance with state and national guidance, is expanding COVID-19 vaccine booster eligibility to individuals 12 to 15 years of age in Solano County.

The Western States Scientific Safety Review Workgroup — following an amendment to the Emergency Use Authorization from the US Food and Drug Administration — recommended expanding eligibility for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine booster dose to youth between the ages of 12 and 15 that have completed their primary vaccination series for COVID-19 at least five months ago. 

With the surge of COVID-19 cases after the holiday season, we urge community members to get vaccinated and receive their booster shot, if eligible” said Bela T. Matyas, M.D., M.P.H., Solano County Public Health Officer.  “Vaccination remains the most effective method for fighting the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, especially with the spread of the Omicron and Delta variants in our community.”

Parents and guardians who are interested in getting their eligible children vaccinated can access the Pfizer booster shots at the mass vaccine clinic at Solano County Fairgrounds, located at 900 Fairgrounds Drive in Vallejo. Clinic operations have been expanded to include every Friday and Saturday between now and January 29, 2022.
