Doctor recommends children receive COVID-19 vaccine before the holidays
With pediatric Covid shots now available in the Valley, a doctor is pushing to get children vaccinated before the holidays.
“With many adults getting their booster shots and now children getting vaccinated, I am really hopeful we are getting back to normalcy,” UT Health Infectious Disease Specialist Dr. Luis Ostrosky said.
According to the CDC, a person is considered fully vaccinated two weeks after their second dose of the Pfizer shot.
The same applies for the just approved 5 to 11 age group.
A list of places receiving pediatric doses from the state is below.
