The Dauphin Clinic Pharmacy is currently offering vaccines for kids between the ages of five and 12 and appointments are filling up extremely quickly.
Barret Procyshyn says if your kid has yet to get their first shot, now is a good time.
"Our phones have been ringing off the hook, we're doing our best to squeeze as many people in as possible," said Procyshyn.
Procyshyn estimates that the pharmacy has given out about 75 doses of the pediatric vaccine to kids in the age group and he says that number continues to grow every day. And with the holiday season right around the corner, Procyshyn says appointments can be booked during business hours.
"It's not just about the kid getting vaccinated, it's about the kid spreading it to a family member if they don't have it," said Procyshyn. "We know the vaccine doesn't completely stop the possibility of a spread but it does slow it down."
To book an appointment, you can call the pharmacy at 638-4602.
