The Pfizer pediatric vaccine requires two doses administered three weeks apart. This clinic is for first doses and second doses. If your kid needs a first dose, register at juneau.org/vaccine<https://juneau.org/covid-19/vaccine-information> or 586-6000. If you’ve already registered your child for their second dose, there’s no need to register again. If you haven’t though, do make an appointment at juneau.org/vaccine<https://juneau.org/covid-19/vaccine-information> or 586-6000.
Please note the following:

  *   Youth ages 5-11 must be accompanied by a parent/legal guardian or a caregiver. If a parent/legal guardian isn’t able to be there, a caregiver is required to bring a printed and completed parent permission form<https://chstm2y9cx63tv84u2p8shc3-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Parent-consent-form-for-COVID-flu-vaccines.pdf> to the clinic appointment.
  *   Possible side effects from the pediatric vaccine include pain, redness, and swelling on the arm where your child got the shot, as well as tiredness, headache, muscle pain, chills, fever, and nausea throughout the rest of their body. These side effects may affect your child’s ability to do daily activities, but they should go away in a few days. Some people have no side effects and severe allergic reactions are rare.
  *   If your child has a reaction from the vaccine and feels sick, please keep your child home from school. In this situation, your child does not need a negative COVID-19 test to return to school. If you have questions, please contact your child’s school.
