Covid 19 Vaccination (update 9/18/21)
Providence Pediatrics Practice continues to offer some Covid 19 Vaccine appointments for our patients 12 yrs and older to receive the Pfizer Vaccine.  We hope to offer this to our younger patients as well once the vaccine has been approved - we will stand behind the FDA's recommendations.  Currently the Pfizer vaccine is available to individuals over 12 who meet the state's criteria for vaccination, and the Johnson and Johnson & Moderna vaccines are available to those over 18 who meet criteria.  Additional vaccination availability and access is taking place through your local county health department, pharmacies, school clinics and hospital sites.
