Office Update:
Covid Vaccines for Children
PLEASE NOTE: Due to incredibly high volumes of pediatric patients needing CoVID 19 vaccine and our current limited supplies, we will NOT be giving any 3rd Covid-19 booster doses (given >/= 6 months after initial Pfizer/Moderna CoVID-19 vaccine series) for adult patients at this time. We recommend that these individuals refer to their local Public Health Department or a participating community pharmacy.November 2, 2021 was the day many of us had been eagerly awaiting and preparing for since we learned that a vaccine against COVID-19 was in development. Finally it is here. The Pfizer CoVID-19 vaccine was recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for children ages 5-11. What a moment!
What this means for our patients ages 5 – 11 years:
Vickery Pediatrics is now offering the new Pfizer vaccine to all children ages 5 – 11 years
Families can schedule vaccination by emailing kmurdock@vickerypeds.com. Nurse Kim will call them back to get them on our schedule ASAP.
Although the CoVID – 19 dosage for this age group is smaller, the interval between 1st and 2nd doses remains a minimum of 21 days.
We are also continuing to offer Influenza vaccination to all patients. If desired, families can schedule flu vaccine to be administered at the same time as CoVID-19 vaccination when administered during our normal office hours.
We continue to offer first and second doses of the Pfizer vaccine to all patients ages 12 years and older as well as third doses to those who are immunocompromised or at high risk, based on vaccine availability.
While we are eager to be a vaccine resource for our families, vaccination appoints can also be made through Georgia Public Health departments.
We are beginning our COVID vaccination waitlist for ages 5-11. Please email our Head Nurse, Kim, at kmurdock@vickerypeds.com to schedule your child(ren) during our Flu/COVID Clinic hours of 9am-5pm.
