URGENT: COVID-19 Vaccinators Needed

Date: 07/01/22

With the new availability of COVID-19 vaccine for children 6 months through 5 years of age, Superior is continuing efforts to recruit COVID-19 vaccinators – specifically pediatric and family medicine providers. Children in this younger age group can be vaccinated with whichever vaccine is available (either Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech).

Currently, the PREP Act only permits pharmacists to vaccinate older children – so there is a great need to recruit pediatricians, family physicians, and other medical providers to help vaccinate younger children.

Please review the resources below to learn more about the COVID-19 vaccination for children 6 months to 5 years of age:

• Centers for Disease Control (CDC) COVID-19 Vaccination Program Provider Requirements and Support Webpage
• Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) COVID-19 Vaccination Provider Enrollment Webpage
• DSHS COVID-19 Vaccine Provider Webinars
  • Please note: The webinar on June 14, 2022 details vaccine eligibility for infants and young children.
• Now Available: COVID-19 Vaccines for Children 6 Months - 5 Years of Age
