The Oahu mobile clinics will also offer Pfizer vaccines for children ages 5-11 as well as boosters for those 12 and older who got their initial vaccine series at least five months ago. Additionally, moderately to severely immunocompromised children ages 5-11 should receive an additional dose of the Pfizer vaccine 28 days after their second shot.

Walk-ins are welcome for adult first doses. Appointments are required for all booster shots and third doses and other vaccinations at HawaiiPacificHealth.org/COVIDVaxSquad.

Several pop-up vaccine and testing clinics are also scheduled across Oahu this week, including Stadium Marketplace, Laie, and Kapalama Elementary School.
