It is encouraged that children receive COVID-19 vaccines at their doctor’s offices. Vaccines are also offered at various locations including pharmacies, ambulatory care clinics, and public health clinics. Visit www.vaccines.gov to find a vaccine site offering vaccines to children over the age of 5.

For individuals 5-15 years of age, a parent or legal guardian must accompany the minor to a vaccination site, provide verification of identity and relationship, and give verbal consent for the minor to be vaccinated.

If a parent is unable to accompany them, minors 16 and older are permitted to have written consent or conduct a video call with Public Health Staff whereby the parent/legal guardian provides verification of identity and relationship, and gives verbal consent for the minor to be vaccinated. The consent form can be found at: Ventura County Department of Public Health Consent Form.
