We currently do not have COVID vaccines in our office but will keep you notified if this changes in the future. For now, if you have a teen, age 16 or older, and think they qualify to be immunized under the current guidelines, you can visit the NYS COVID Vaccine Website to determine eligibility and potentially schedule a vaccine. 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. |
