🚨 A lot of important questions from concerned families coming in right now.

😔 Unfortunately, given the current situation, we are unable to offer our COVID vaccine to anyone at this time. Our pediatricians still unequivocally recommend it for families who desire it in all age groups, as per AAP guidance.

We are working through logistics and are hopeful that we will be able to provide it again soon as we head into the fall. We will also be updating families through MyChart. 🖥️

Stay healthy, all! 💜

With misinformation about immunizations spreading, AAP is publishing our own, independent vaccine recommendations, including updated recommendations for RSV, influenza, and COVID-19. Read our full policy statement to learn about AAP's updated immunization schedule.
