Children under 5 can now receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

We are happy to let you know that children under the age of 5 can now receive the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. Children in this age group are approved to receive COVID-19 vaccination by the FDA and CDC.

Nearly 500 infants and children under 5 have lost their lives due to COVID-19 since the beginning of the pandemic. During the last COVID-19 surge, infants and children had a higher rate of hospitalization than ever before.

It is important to protect infants and young children against severe disease. The vaccine is a safe and very effective way to keep them from getting severe disease and complications from COVID-19, including “Long COVID” and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C).

COVID-19 vaccines for children under 5 are available at the following locations.
