Learn how to get a COVID shot for your child here
East Bay Pediatrics will continue to open up more vaccine dates as we get more supply from the county. Remember that your child can get a COVID vaccine during any pre-scheduled visit. Please do not take an online spot if you already have an upcoming appointment! If your child had a COVID illness, the general consensus from our doctors and the CDC is that you can wait at least 3 months to be vaccinated after getting the disease. East Bay Pediatrics has received the Moderna COVID vaccine for children 6 months to 5 years old. Sign up starting Wednesday afternoon for the COVID shot clinic on Saturday, June 25. You will know that the sign up is live when the choice for "6 months to 5 year" is available on this link.
Patients who are already scheduled for an appointment may receive the vaccine during their appointment. Siblings can receive vaccines during those appointments as well (no sign up needed). Please make your provider aware that you want the vaccine during the visit. This is a two dose series and the second dose should be 4-8 weeks after the first dose. We wil help you schedule your second dose.

Only the Orinda location will be open from 8:00am - 12:00pm for pre-scheduled appointments. Learn more about how to celebrate Juneteenth here: Juneteenth 2022: How the Holiday Is Observed and 6 Ways You Can Celebrate It - CNET The FDA has approved COVID vaccinations for children under 5 years of age under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). The next step is for the CDC to approve the vaccines. Then the county will release vaccines to practices like ours and documentation codes will go live so that doses can be charted with the California Immunization Registry (CAIR). We are not allowed to schedule patients for this vaccine until all these steps have occurred. Once they have, our links for signing up for COVID vaccine will have a new choice for COVID vaccine for 6 months to 5 years old. If you sign up on our website BEFORE all of these steps happen, your appointment will be CANCELED. Please continue to be patient. It is very exciting to be able to vaccinate our younger children!
