Following authorization granted this month by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the St. Charles County Department of Public Health will begin offering COVID-19 vaccinations for children ages 6 months and older on Monday, June 27.

Both Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna COVID vaccines are available for this age group through the department’s Immunization Clinic (located at 1650 Boone’s Lick Road in St. Charles.) 

How to Schedule Appointments

Vaccination appointments are required and are available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays 8:30 – 11:30 a.m., and 1-4 p.m. Appointments can be made using the online scheduling system at sccmo.org/COVIDvaccine or by calling the COVID Hotline at 636-949-1899.
