What to know about scheduling COVID-19 vaccine for children over 12

With the FDA emergency authorization approval of the Pfizer vaccine for 12–15-year-olds this week, Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt is pleased to offer vaccine appointments for children and teenagers meeting the state criteria. We are currently offering the Pfizer vaccine as it is the only vaccine approved for these age groups.

Parents/Guardians will also be eligible to schedule their vaccine at the same time as their child.

Parents can schedule their child’s vaccine by:

• Schedule by clicking the URL. https://covid-vaccine.app.vumc.org/schedule/#/signin
• Calling our COVID hotline at 888-312-0847.
• As additional age groups become eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, Vanderbilt will administer vaccines to those groups through this process.

Children under 18 must have a parent or legal guardian with them for the vaccine administration.

Locations will be at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt, Vanderbilt Wilson County Hospital (beginning Friday, May 14) and at One Hundred Oaks Mall location.   

The vaccines are how we’ll put this pandemic behind us, together. Learn more from Vanderbilt Health experts (VUMC.org/coronavirus/covid-19-vaccines)
