We have been receiving an increasing number of phone calls regarding the COVID-19 vaccine for our pediatric population. The providers at Pediatrics, P.C. believe the vaccine is a safe and effective way of protecting both the individual receiving the vaccine and the community. We recommend that children receive the vaccine as soon as they are eligible to receive the vaccine. Ultimately, the decision to receive the vaccine is up to you and your child.  

At this time, the Pfizer-BioNTech and the Moderna COVID-19 vaccines and bivalent vaccines have been approved for persons aged ≥ 6 months. For more information regarding the bivalent vaccine, please refer to the CDC’s article Stay Up to Date with COVID-19 Vaccines Including Boosters.

The American Academy of Pediatrics has released a statement supporting the CDC’s recommendation for the COVID vaccines. For more information, we recommend following the link below for some FAQs about the vaccine from the American Academy of Pediatrics:
