Media Statement on COVID-19 Vaccination for Ages 12-15

Ages 12-15 now eligible.

“Sutter Health is now accepting appointments for those 12-15 years old to receive Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, which was granted emergency use authorization by the FDA.”

“Children ages 12-17 can only receive the Pfizer vaccine with consent. A parent or guardian needs to accompany the child to their vaccine appointment or sign a consent form for the child to bring with them.”

Please note: While the Moderna and Janssen/Johnson & Johnson vaccines are still only available to people ages 18 and over, the FDA has authorized the emergency use of all three vaccines, which have been determined to be safe and effective.
