Can my child get vaccinated for COVID-19?
Can my child get vaccinated for COVID-19?
It depends. Children 12 years old and older are eligible to get the COVID-19 vaccine. At this time, only the Pfizer vaccine is authorized for people ages 12 years to 17 years, and it is the same vaccine already widely available across the state for use in adults.
Why should I get my child vaccinated against COVID-19?
Why should I get my child vaccinated against COVID-19?
COVID-19 vaccination can help protect your child from getting COVID-19.
Although fewer children have been sick with COVID-19 compared to adults, children can be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19, can get sick from COVID-19, and can spread the virus that causes COVID-19 to others. Getting your child vaccinated helps to protect your child and your family. Vaccination is now recommended for everyone 12 years old and older. Currently, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine is the only one available to children 12 years old and older.
Promptly vaccinating children ages 12 years and up is another valuable tool that will help end the COVID-19 pandemic and have a direct and positive effect on schools being open for classroom learning.
