Museum hosts vax clinic
Children’s Discovery Museum of San Jose has teamed up with Santa Clara County Public Health Department to administer COVID-19 vaccinations at a Feb. 13 clinic for young local children and their families. The clinic will target Medi-Cal recipients, in partnership with Santa Clara Family Health Plan.
Every family whose child or adult is vaccinated will receive a family pass for a free museum visit. Families can use the pass the day of their vaccination or return by May 31.
Efforts are underway to reach Medi-Cal recipients who have a lower vaccination rate than the rest of the population. Presently, only 75% of Santa Clara Family Health Plan Medi-Cal members ages 12 and older are fully vaccinated compared to the county’s 93% rate for the overall population.
The clinic is set for 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m, at the Children’s Discovery Museum, 180 Woz Way. It’s open to all eligible people ages 5 and up for first and second doses and booster shots for eligible people ages 12 and up. For more information, visit https://www.cdm.org/vaccination.
