Community-Based COVID-19 Vaccination for Young Children
Golisano Children’s Hospital (GCH) and Acute Kids in Webster are offering community vaccination for children ages 6 months through 5 years old who recently became eligible for COVID-19 vaccines.
Families looking for more information on the vaccine are again being encouraged to contact their child’s primary care provider or read this FAQ, developed by the GCH Pediatric Infectious Disease team who led local COVID-19 vaccine studies in the Rochester area.
Community pharmacies are now vaccinating children ages 3 years and older in most cases. Below is specific pharmacy information and links to access scheduling.
