| Vaccine for ages 5 to 11 is being distributed to local health departments, private medical practices, and pharmacies in Maryland. Two thirds of the doses will be provided by pharmacies and health care providers and about one third will be provided by the Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).Take advantage of the many places to get vaccinations.
We get more doses weekly. Initially, the number of doses will be limited--please be patient. We will not be able to vaccinate every eligible child immediately. Check with your health care provider to see if they are offering vaccinations.
We estimate that we have more than 100,000 children in the age 5 to 11 group. It will take some time to fully vaccinate every eligible child who wants it.
Children ages 5 to 11 get 2 doses of the Pfizer vaccine, 3 weeks apart. The pediatric vaccine is specially packaged. It is NOT interchangeable with the Pfizer doses given to people age 12 and older. |
