The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends the U.S. FDA’s amended Emergency Use Authorization of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for ages 5-11. The CDC has also authorized pediatric COVID-19 vaccine for children 5 to 11 years old.

Based on those recommendations, the Indiana Department of Health supports the administration of pediatric doses to individuals who attest to meeting CDC guidelines. The vaccine is now available to protect more than 610,000 young Hoosiers against COVID-19.

Anyone 5 and older is now eligible to receive the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine. A parent needs to be present for anyone 5–18-years old. If this is not an option, you MUST complete the CONSENT FOR COVID-19 VACCINATION FORM attached below. A copy of a parent’s ID and insurance card must be included.

Starting November 4, 2021, you can visit www.ourshot.in.gov to schedule a pediatric appointment or call 211 for assistance.

Our drive-thru is only available to those 12 years of age and older.

Please be aware, we will not have pediatric (5-11 y/o) Covid-19 vaccine available at this Saturday’s Covid-19 booster clinic on November 6, 2021, from 8:00am -12:00pm.
