COVID-19 Vaccine Information

---

We have been receiving many phone calls asking about recommendations regarding the COVID-19 vaccine for teens and breastfeeding mothers.

Our Recommendations

In accordance with the guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics, we recommend that adolescents (age 16-17 years) who are included in the prioritized groups should receive the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.

Also, COVID-19 vaccines should be offered to lactating individuals the same as non-lactating individuals if they meet the criteria of a prioritized group. A lactating individual may continue nursing after receiving the vaccine.

Please read these AAP Guidelines for further information.
