Following the approval of the COVID vaccine for children 6 months and older, our office is making arrangements to offer it to interested families in a clinic setting. Details of that will be provided as soon they are known. Questions about the vaccine can be addressed by your provider by scheduling a vaccine counseling visit (via Telemedicine or in-office) for a discussion.
