We are pleased to announce that all locations now have availability of the Moderna COVID vaccine for patients aged 6 months – 11 years of age. To schedule an appointment for your child to receive the vaccine, please contact your preferred location by phone. Inventory is limited, so we would recommend scheduling quickly. As many insurance companies are still finalizing their reimbursements, all caregivers will be required to sign a waiver at the time of your appointment indicating your responsibility for payment should it not be covered by your plan. Please direct any specific questions to your insurance provider.

Children older than 11 years of age will be able to receive a COVID vaccine at their local pharmacy without a prescription.

Thank you!
