All children, including kids who've already had COVID-19, should get vaccinated against COVID-19, according to the CDC. Children under age 5 can get the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine — health officials aren't recommending one over the other.
A firefighter prepares pediatric doses of the Pfizer-BioNtech COVID-19 vaccine on November 3, 2021, in Shoreline, Washington. On Monday, providers in Alaska began administering the vaccine to children under 5.
Kelsey Pistotnik’s 3-year-old daughter Vivienne Pistotnik gets a COVID-19 vaccine on June 20, 2022, in Anchorage. “It will take several days for all the vaccine providers who preordered vaccine to receive it, but parents can check with their pediatrician or local pharmacy to see if they will be offering the vaccine and to make an appointment,” Rabinowitz said.
Pfizer-BioNTech is a three-dose series with three weeks between dose 1 and 2, and two months between dose 2 and 3. It’ll take 13 weeks for a kid to complete their primary series. “We’re very encouraged that the vaccines are safe and effective,” she said. “We recommend that Alaska parents talk to their health care provider or pharmacist if they have questions or concerns.”
