WISCONSIN (NBC 26) — Bellin Health will begin offering COVID-19 vaccinations for children ages 5 to 11 on Friday, Nov. 5. Scheduling is available now for vaccinations at the following locations:
- Bellin’s Ashwaubenon Community Vaccination Site, 1630 Commanche Ave.
- Bellin Health Marinette, 2820 Roosevelt Road
- Bellin Health Iron Mountain, 440 Woodward Ave.
Bellin will expand vaccination availability to all its clinics as vaccine rollout proceeds. Individuals do not need to be Bellin patients to be vaccinated.
Additionally, Prevea announced Wednesday that it will provide the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccinations for children ages 5 to 11 at select locations across Wisconsin, starting Nov. 8.
"The scheduling of appointments for these vaccinations will also begin Nov. 8," Prevea said in a news release. "To prevent our call centers from becoming overwhelmed and to keep our lines open for patient care, Prevea kindly asks that community members do not call Prevea or use MyPrevea to try and schedule a child’s vaccination appointment prior to Nov. 8."
To be ready to schedule a child’s COVID-19 vaccination appointment through MyPrevea beginning Nov. 8, Prevea strongly encourages parents/legal guardians to do the following now:
- Make sure you (parent/legal guardian) have a MyPrevea account set up. Anyone can sign up for a MyPrevea account (you do not have to be a Prevea patient) at no cost at www.myprevea.com or set it up as an app on any smartphone or device.
- Once you’ve created your own MyPrevea account, you will need to create an account for your child by first requesting “proxy access” in your MyPrevea account. If you have more than one child, you can request proxy access for each child. All their medical information, including the ability to schedule Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination appointments, will be housed in your MyPrevea account. For more information on setting up proxy access for a child(ren) under your MyPrevea account, please visit: https://www.prevea.com/For-Patients/Your-Wellness/Resources/Manage-your-childs-health-care-with-MyPrevea-proxy
Like adults, children ages 5 to 11 will require a second dose of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine 21 days following the first dose. The appointment for the second dose will be scheduled on-site during the child’s appointment for the first dose.
