Madison Area Sensory Friendly Vaccine Clinic and Play Time at the Museum

About this event

Join us as we partner with the Madison Children’s Museum and SSM Health for a sensory friendly vaccine clinic and bonus sensory-friendly play time at the museum!

This event aims to bring families together to learn through play in an environment that supports the unique needs of children with Autism and/or sensory challenges.

During this event, SSM Health will provide a free vaccine clinic for children with sensory needs, siblings, and their parents (children ages 5 and up). Vaccines will be provided by medical providers who specialize in administering them to children with sensory processing challenges or a fear of needles. Accessible vaccine kits, sensory fidgets, and communication boards will be available to support participants as well.

Each person who wants to receive a vaccine may register for a fifteen-minute session (vaccinators can take families as a group at the museum, but they must each register separately). Please click the registration link below for details on available vaccines. The vaccine clinic will run from 3:00 PM – 5:45 PM. Walk-ins are welcome, but may result in wait times. Click here to register for your vaccine appointment.

The Children’s Museum will close to the public at 4:00 PM, but remain open to families who would like to come and play in a more relaxed setting from 4:00 – 6:00 PM. Admission will be free during this time frame. If you arrive prior to 4:00 for a vaccine, you can let the front desk know you are arriving for your vaccine and bypass the admission fees.

Please register below if you plan to come and play at the Children’s Museum during our sensory friendly play time. Registration closes on Wednesday, November 4th.
