At this time, children 6 months to 5 years old are the only group we are vaccinating.
Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccine are now authorized and approved for young children. We believe both vaccines are good choices, but we will be only giving the Moderna vaccine for now. We recommend all our patients 6 months and older receive the COVID-19 vaccines, however we are only administering to this age group right at this time.
If you are interested in scheduling a COVID vaccine for your child between 6m and 5 years of age, please call the office. We currently do not have any upcoming clinics scheduled but we will be doing smaller groups of vaccinations. There are other local resources for vaccinations for all patients 6m and older (pharmacies, local health departments, Yale Clinics)
Some resources if you have any questions about the vaccine:
