Vaccines

COVID-19 vaccines are approved for our patients age 5 and up. We do not have any doses at The Kids Clinic, but are registering with the state to order doses for patients age 5-11. We will send out a clinic-wide email when we are scheduling for vaccine appointments. Virtual or in-person appointments are available for discussing questions that you have about the COVID-19 vaccine for your child. No orders are necessary from The Kids Clinic to get the vaccine from another location.
