We are now offering the COVID-19 vaccine for children 6 months through 4 years of age.

Due to availability, the office will be administering the Pfizer Vaccine as a 3-dose series with the first 2 doses given 3 weeks apart and the 3rd dose given 8 weeks after the 2nd dose. We will be scheduling this age group on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Additionally, on Thursdays we will continue to administer COVID-19 vaccines for the 5-11 year age group.

We highly recommend this protection for your children.

Please call the office to set up your child's appointment.

Call our office now to schedule a COVID vaccine for your child, age 5-11 years old. We are currently scheduling weekend COVID vaccine clinics in both our Camillus and Liverpool locations. Pediatric Associates will be working together, along with pharmacies and schools, to distribute the COVID vaccine to our 5-11 year olds. We encourage you to utilize any of these sites to acquire a vaccine for your child, ages 5-11 years old. Please be aware that we do not have vaccines for 12-18 year olds in our office and you must go obtain this vaccine elsewhere.

Starting Friday there will be a new COVID-19 testing site in Syracuse at a vacant showroom on the Heritage Dealership property next to the Lincoln dealership located at 800 West Genesee St.

This clinic will be for those who are symptomatic only. Patients are required to register before their tests on the Onondaga County Health Department's website. Click here for the link to register.

Please review the following important rules related to COVID for our practice.

ANYONE who is COVID positive or in quarantine, may NOT enter the buildings.

• Patients being seen may be accompanied by one healthy adult only.
• If your child is in quarantine for COVID exposure, is asymptomatic, and you would like them tested, they may NOT enter the office and must go to an outside testing site at Water Street or Community Hospital. If your child is in quarantine and is asymptomatic and tests negative for COVID, they must still complete the full duration of quarantine regardless.
• If your child is in quarantine for COVID exposure and develops symptoms, they may NOT enter the office and must go to an outside testing site at Water Street or Upstate Community Hospital.

We are working hard to care for your children and maintain the safety of those who enter our building. We appreciate your understanding during this challenging time.

What do you do when the kids are still unvaccinated? The answers will not be easy. Families will make different decisions based on their preferences. There will be more than one reasonable approach.
