Bay Shore Pediatrics- The new covid 19 vaccine , XBB.1.5 is a variant of omicron and has been formulated to closely match the new circulating strains of SARS- COV-2. This vaccine was recently FDA approved for emergency use for everyone 6 months and older. If it has been at least 2 months since your last covid vaccine and you have not had covid within the last 3 months, then you are eligible for this vaccine. We are no longer offering covid vaccination at our office. For children 6 months to 4 years, if you are unable to obtain the covid vaccine elsewhere, please discuss with our providers.
Please review Pfizer Covid-19 fact sheet for 6 months to 11 years or Pfizer Covid-19 fact sheet for 12+ and have covid vaccine screening form completed prior to your appointment. There is a QR code at the front desk and in each room. Please review prior to vaccine administration.
