Are children eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine?

Children 12 and older are eligible to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.

Appointments can be scheduled with a Primary Care, Pediatric or Family Medicine office.

Children 5 to 11 Years Old: 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is recommending the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine between the ages of 5 and 11 years. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) grants the use of the Pfizer pediatric vaccine under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). Appointments can be scheduled with a Pediatric or Family Medicine office.

When can I receive my second dose?

Second Dose Information and Timing: 

You need to receive two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. Children aged 6 months to 4 years old receiving Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, will need three doses. Established patients can schedule their subsequent doses through MyChart. 

It is recommended that individuals get their second dose as close to the recommended date as possible:

  • For Pfizer: 3-8 weeks apart 
  • For Moderna: 4-8 weeks apart

For children 6 months to 4 years of age receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, the first and second doses will need to be given three to eight weeks apart and the second and third doses at least eight weeks apart.

Am I eligible for a third dose or booster?

Third Dose and Booster Vaccines

Third dose and booster COVID-19 vaccines are now available for eligible groups. Established patients can schedule their subsequent doses through MyChart. 

Third dose
 vaccines are in addition to the primary two-dose vaccine series. The third dose is intended for immunocompromised patients only and increases vaccine efficacy compared to the two-dose series. Its recommended that third dose vaccines are given within four weeks after the primary series of Moderna or Pfizer. 

A 
vaccine booster is now available for all adults 18 years of age or older, teens 12⁠–17 years of age and children 5–11 years of age. 

Adults 18 years or older can receive a booster shot given 5 months after the primary series of either Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna (bivalent mRNA COVID-19 vaccines).


The CDC recommends the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine booster shot for teens 12⁠–17 years of age and children 5⁠–11 years of age to be given 5 months after the initial primary series of the Pfizer.

The CDC also recommends booster vaccines for adults 18 years of age or older at least 2 months after the Johnson & Johnson's Janssen vaccine.
 

For adults 18 years of age or older, vaccine boosters are interchangeable and do not need to be the same brand as the primary series.

Bivalent Booster Shots:
Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease and Control Prevention approved Pfizer’s bivalent vaccine for people ages 12 and older and Moderna’s bivalent vaccine for people ages 18 and older. The bivalent booster shots from Pfizer and Moderna target both the original COVID strain and omicron’s BA.5 subvariant. Bivalent booster vaccines will be available via St. Elizabeth Physicians' Primary Care practices by September 16.

To be eligible, you must have completed a primary vaccination series — and be at least two months out from your last dose of any COVID vaccine, according to the CDC. Persons who have already received a booster dose with a monovalent product are recommended to receive a bivalent booster at least 2 months after the last booster dose. The agency’s advisors also say that if you have recently had COVID, you should consider waiting three months after testing negative before getting an updated booster.

Please contact your primary care provider or schedule through MyChart. 

For more information on boosters, please visit CDC.gov.
