Shots for eligible children available at Foothills CVS Pharmacy
CVS Health announced that the CVS Pharmacy located at 11464 S. Fortuna Road in the Yuma Foothills is now accepting appointments for the PfizerBioNTech COVID-19 pediatric vaccine to children ages 5 to 11 years of age, with shots starting on Sunday, Nov. 7. Parental or legal guardian consent is required, and children must be accompanied by an adult.
Patients are encouraged to schedule an appointment online at www.CVS.com or through the CVS Pharmacy app to ensure availability.
CVS Health has administered about 43 million COVID-19 vaccines to date and has been administering the COVID-19 vaccine to children ages 12 years and older since authorized by the FDA and recommended for that age group by the CDC earlier this year.
The Pfizer-BioNTech pediatric vaccine is one-third of the adult dose. CVS Pharmacy recommends that children wear clothing that allows easy access to their arms, such as a short sleeve shirt. As with the adult COVID-19 vaccination, children and their parent or guardian will need to remain in the pharmacy area for at least 15 minutes following vaccination for observation.
In addition, CVS Pharmacy can also provide other vaccines to children, such as seasonal flu, Tdap and chickenpox.
