ANN ARBOR – The University of Michigan Health will begin vaccinating children ages 5-11 against COVID-19 on Monday.
Doses of Pfizer vaccine are offered at health system vaccination clinics in Ann Arbor, Brighton and Northville.
The vaccinations will only be possible by appointment and the scheduling for the vaccination appointments will start on Friday.
