 Pa. vaccine providers, including pediatricians, grocery stores, family doctors, pharmacies and large retailers are now able to schedule appointments and administer shots as soon as possible, according to CDC guidance.

“The pediatric vaccine is safe, and it is highly effective at protecting children against COVID-19-related illness, hospitalization, and death,” Pennsylvania’s Acting Physician General Dr. Denise Johnson said. “Vaccinating children against COVID-19 is the best way to keep families and communities healthy and schools safe.”
