Parker Pediatrics Update

We have received our first shipment of COVID vaccine; however, this is currently only for patients with private insurance. We have received both Moderna (ages 6 months to 4 years) and Pfizer vaccines (ages 5-11 and 12+).

We are still waiting on the guidelines and shipments from the state for Medicaid vaccines. We will send out additional information once it is received.

You can always inquire at any upcoming office visit; however, we have set up the following clinic times specifically for the COVID vaccine:
