As pediatric COVID cases continue to be a concern in the U.S., a popular museum is working to bring vaccines and a fun experience to Bay Area kids.
Though the two clinics in January have been planned for a while now, the museum says the recent headlines have pushed them to work on more dates."When we started reading those reports coming out of New York about the hospitalizations for very young children," Jennings said,"We really redoubled our efforts to try to figure out how to get more of these vaccination clinics going."
With more clinics being planned in 2022, the museum says it hopes each clinic is a step closer to getting kids back to pre-pandemic life. "We believe that by helping families come up with an easy way to engage in vaccinations where you can get the vaccination done, but also treat the family to a fun thing will make the difference for some families," Jennings said.
