Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine Availability
We want to share important updates regarding Pfizer vaccines through the CPP program:
COVID vaccine for ages 6 months–4 years will not be available for the 2025-2026 season. It was previously distributed under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) and has not yet received full FDA approval. As a result, it has been removed from the CPP pricing sheets.
COVID vaccine for ages 5–11 years has now received full FDA approval and is marketed under the brand name Comirnaty®, aligning with the branding for the 12+ years dose. Pricing for the Comirnaty 5–11yrs dose has been updated to $45/dose.
