- Individuals ages 18-64 in an occupational or institutional setting where the burden of COVID infection and transmission are high based on individual benefit and risk

Children's Vaccination Resources
Pfizer Vaccine Now Available for Ages 12+
Appointments are now available for ages 12+ for the Pfizer Vaccine. We have appointments available at our site and encourage you to register in advance at ourshot.in.gov to avoid wait times. See the Youth Pfizer Fact Sheet for more info.
Pfizer Vaccine for ages 5-11
Pfizer has reported that the vaccine is safe for children ages 5-11. This will be under review with the FDA and will then need to be approved by ACIP before any doses can be administered for this group. Pending review, approval and guidelines, we anticipate offering Pfizer vaccine to children aged 5-11 starting around the end of October or early November 2021.
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.
