The Trumbull County Combined Health District wants to help families get their COVID-19 vaccines, as well as their flu vaccines.

They will host walk-in clinics for the community at 176 Chestnut Ave N.E. in Warren.

The clinic will be open on two different days, and you don’t need to make an appointment.

The clinic starts Tuesday, March 28, from 5 - 7 p.m.

Then on Thursday, March 30, they’ll be open at the following times: 9:30 - 11:30 a.m., 1 – 3 p.m., and 5 – 7 p.m.

Understanding COVID-19 shots

The clinic is offering the Pfizer vaccine for anyone 12 years and older, as well as the Pfizer pediatric vaccine for children five to 11 years old and the infant vaccine is for ages six months to four years old.

Health providers also offer mRNA bivalent boosters, which “strengthen protection against the original COVID-19 strain.

Boosters are available for all age groups.

If you plan on getting the COVID-19 booster shot, the clinic asks you to bring your vaccine card to the appointment.
