Upcoming Flu & COVID Vaccine Registration
Well Visit Vaccinations
Does your child have an upcoming well visit?
Can parents and siblings get their Flu and Moderna COVID vaccines at that time too?
We are currently FULL for vaccine only appointments through December due to huge demand and staffing and space limitations. We understand this is disappointing, and we are trying our best to come up with creative solutions to add more vaccination appointments.

Additional Frequently Asked Questions
Tell me about this new COVID booster. What makes it different?
· The new COVID-19 booster, approved for fall 2023, targets one of the currently circulating strains of COVID-19 called XBB1.5. The prior versions of the vaccine did not provide effective protection from this strain. The updated Moderna booster also showed effectiveness against other newer variants, such as XBB.1.16, EG.5.1, and BA.2.86 in trials.
But my child got Pfizer before. Is it OK to switch to a Moderna COVID booster?
· Yes! The CDC has allowed a “mix and match” approach for COVID-19 boosters for individuals over age 5 years, meaning that your booster does not have to be the same brand as your primary series for this age group. Additionally, due to the limited availability of Moderna for ages 6m-11y, the Minnesota Department of Health has encouraged providers to allow mix and match for ALL ages.
Why should my child (or I) get a COVID booster now? Isn't COVID over?
· The CDC, FDA, American Academy of Pediatrics, and your trusted healthcare providers at Pediatric Services all recommend staying up to date on COVID-19 boosters. While the severe COVID-19 requiring hospitalization and long term health issues are less common in children than in adults, it can still happen, and data shows that the COVID-19 vaccine is effective in preventing severe hospitalization and death in all age groups. Find more information here.
Who is Homeland Health, who is hosting some of your clinics?
· We are partnering with Homeland Health to help provide our patients and families with more convenient opportunities to get vaccinated, without pulling our staff from their daily clinic work and affecting patient care. Homeland Health will primarily provide vaccination appointments on Tuesdays and Thursdays. You can learn more about them here.
