Pfizer Vaccine Now Available for Ages 5+
Vaccines are now available for ages 5+ for the Pfizer Vaccine. Appointments are not required but recommended. Register at ourshot.in.gov. See the Youth Pfizer Fact Sheet for more info.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized the emergency use of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine for the prevention of COVID-19 to include children 5 through 11 years of age. The authorization was based on the FDA’s thorough and transparent evaluation of the data that included input from independent advisory committee experts.
At this time, the Pfizer vaccine is the only approved COVID-19 vaccine for ages 5 - 11 and is administered as a two-dose primary series, 3 weeks apart, but is a lower dose (10 micrograms) than that used for individuals 12 years of age and older (30 micrograms). See the Teen Pfizer Fact Sheet for more info,
A parent or guardian must provide consent, and children under 16 must be accompanied to the vaccination appointment by an adult.
Virtual Reading of Violet Vaccine
Watch a virtual reading of local Fishers author Daisy Ramani's children's book, Miss Violet Vaccine (available on Amazon), where readers follow the main character, Zoey, who is anxious about getting a vaccination. Like most children, she does not like the idea of getting a shot. The goal of this story is to shed light on the benefit of getting vaccinations in a child-friendly manner. This engaging story was created through the eyes of a child to help alleviate the fear and anxiety associated with receiving vaccinations, whether it is for Corona (COVID-19), Influenza, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, etc.
