Daily News | Despite restrictions, some PA pharmacies seek to participate in child vaccinations
Skippack pharmacist Dr. Mayank Amin leads a family in a day clinic at the Hatfield Elementary School for covid vaccines for children under 5 in Hatfield, Thursday, June 30, 2022While pharmacies played a central role in getting adults and older children vaccinated against COVID-19, that won’t be the case when it comes to vaccinating children under 5 years old.
A few, though, have decided they want to find ways to stay involved in the last demographic to become eligible for COVID vaccination. Pediatricians note the restrictions on pharmacists vaccinating infants and toddlers is a good idea, even if it does limit parents options. A caring, patient approach is required for very young children and their parents.
Amin, a parent of a 1-year-old, has had children 5 and older referred to his pharmacy for vaccination by pediatricians in the area, he said, and he wanted to continue to be a resource for doctors offices that weren’t carrying the vaccine themselves. In the first week doses were available for children younger than 5, he said, his pharmacy vaccinated about 500 children ages 3 and 4, including people who came from New Jersey and Philadelphia.
