COVID-19 Vaccine: Children ages six months and older
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the
Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines for emergency use authorization for children ages six months and older.
Getting vaccinated is an important way to protect your child’s health during the pandemic, especially as new variants of the virus emerge.
Wellstar is offering COVID-19 vaccines for pediatric patients who are over six months of age. Parents can call their child's Wellstar pediatrician to schedule the vaccination.
