ELMIRA, NY (WENY) - Arnot Health offered COVID vaccinations for the 2nd time this weekend for children. 

Arnot Ogden Medical Center offered pediatric doses of the COVID-19 vaccine on Saturday. From 9 a.m. to 4 in the afternoon, kids ages 5 to 11 were eligible to receive a vaccination with an appointment and parent/guardian.  

Program Director of COVID Vaccine Clinic’s at Arnot, Marie Watson, said the health organization administered roughly 70 shots at Saturday’s clinic. She was happy to see children prepared for the dose. 

“We’ve had a good turnout,” Watson said. “The kids that have come through have been very well prepared by their parents to know what to expect.” 

Watson hopes to get more kids vaccinated by catering future clinics around parents’ availability. 

“Right now, we're really trying to work around parents' schedules,” Watson said. “Follow up is going to be November 30th for second shots and we're also going to be giving first doses at that time as well.” 

No walk-in appointments are available at Arnot’s clinics. Appointments can be made online by visiting Arnot’s website here or by calling 1-800-952-2662.
