Both of our offices have received pediatric COVID 19 vaccines and are now scheduling appointments for administration. The CDC approved use of the Pfizer COVID vaccine for children ages 5-11 years of age last week and as pediatricians we are strongly recommending the vaccine. The dose for this age group is 1/3 of the dose for those 12 years and older and will require two doses spaced 3 weeks apart. Side effects have been minimal in children and some may get a sore arm, fever or body aches which can be treated with ibuprofen or tylenol.
