SAN ANTONIO — University Hospital is requiring appointments for the COVID-19 vaccine appointment for 5-to-11-year-old children.
This comes after the FDA and CDC have authorized the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for children in that age group.
Appointments are required for children 5-11 years of age to receive the vaccine at University Health's Wonderland of the Americas' clinic. Kids must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to provide written consent for the vaccine. Proof of age is also required at the appointment.
Anyone age 12 and over does not need an appointment and can get a vaccine on a walk-in basis.
Appointments at Wonderland of the Americas have begun. Click here to book an appointment.
Walgreens and CVS have started offering vaccines for this age group. Click here for more info.
H-E-B does not have plans as of yet to offer them for kids younger than 12. Check this link to see if that changes.
Metro Health has not updated its website yet, but here is the link to make an appointment.
San Antonio ISD and South Texas Allergy & Asthma Medical Professionals will be providing the vaccine at Burnet Learning Center on 406 Barrera Street.
