KPHD VACCINE CLINIC UPDATES:

We are offering appointments for a Nov. 19 clinic for children ages 5-11. Register at kphd.timetap.com. Find more information on our Vaccination for Children 5-11 page.
Other providers may have appointments available for children ages 5-11.

We are now requiring appointments for booster doses at our clinics.
We will continue offering walk-up availability for patients 12 and older who are not yet fully vaccinated and need primary doses, and for immunocompromised patients who need third doses.

VACCINATION FOR CHILDREN AGES 5-11

The Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine is now authorized and recommended for children ages 5-11.

Expert panels convened by the FDA, CDC, and the Western States Scientific Safety Review Workgroup all recommended the vaccine as safe and effective for children in this age group based on evidence from clinical trials. The FDA and Washington State Department of Health have authorized healthcare providers to begin vaccinating children ages 5-11. Learn more about COVID-19 vaccination for children and the Pfizer vaccine.

Please be aware that the Pfizer dose recommended for children 5-11 is different from the dose available for those 12 and older. Supplies may be limited at first. Please be patient as you seek an appointment for children in this age group. We recommend families start by contacting their child’s regular healthcare provider to find out if they are offering vaccination for this age group.

BOOSTER SHOTS AND THIRD DOSES

If you are 18 or older and fully vaccinated for COVID-19, an additional vaccine dose may be recommended to boost your immunity. Learn more and find out if you are eligible:
