• The FDA has now  authorized the use of the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for children aged 5-11 years. Although we are on the list to provide the vaccine, we have been informed that large clinics, pharmacies, schools  and  special vaccine clinics will be first to receive the vaccine. To learn more about which sites will first have the vaccine, go to vaccinate.dc.gov If your child's school  offers the vaccine, please do not hesitate to have them vaccinated.  We will post on the website as soon as we are able to offer the vaccine.
•  Children 12-15  have been  able to receive the vaccine since May 10, 2021.Pfizer announced earlier this year that the vaccine trials showed its vaccine is 100 percent effective in preventing COVID-19 infection in this age group. Vaccinating children is key to raising the level of immunity in the U.S. populations.  Children  12-18 are now able to get vaccines  on a walk-in basis at any site offering Pfizer vaccine, with proof of age and parental consent.
