COVID-19 Vaccine for 6 months and Older: The FDA advisory committee has recommended the three-dose Pfizer vaccine and the two-dose Moderna vaccine be authorized for children 6 months and older! We can’t give vaccines to this age group quite yet: we have to wait for official FDA authorization, CDC and DHS approval, and then have to wait for updated clinical guidance and orders from WI DHS. But the time is coming soon! Once the vaccine is authorized, you can reach out to your health care provider to get your child's shot with them or at one of the many vaccination sites in Winnebago County. Find sites at www.wcvaccine.org.
