Appointments are available now
Families can now schedule Pfizer-BioNTech vaccinations for children age 6 months to 4 years by appointment only at Lehigh Valley Hospital (LVH)–17th Street.
The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine series for this age group is a three-shot regimen, with each dose being one-tenth the dose given to adults. Children receiving the vaccine series are given the first two doses three weeks apart and a third at least two months later.
The clinics will be held inside the LVH–17th Street auditorium:
They have been scheduled in a way that allows children who attend all three dates to complete their full vaccine series. However, first, second and third doses will be available at all three of the clinic dates for children at any stage of vaccination. At your child’s appointment, a staff member will provide information on how and when to schedule their next dose.
Most side effects reported in this younger age group are mild and resolve completely within two days. They include:
It’s completely normal for your child to experience these side effects, but if you have any questions, it is best to reach out to your child’s pediatrician for support.
