Indiana State Department of Health news release:
Indianapolis, Indiana (November 4, 2021) — The Indiana Department of Health announced today that COVID-19 vaccination appointments for Hoosiers ages 5-11 can now be scheduled by visiting https://www.coronavirus.in.gov/vaccine/ or calling 2-1-1 or (866) 211-9966.
Appointments and pre-registration are strongly recommended to help minimize wait times and ensure that sufficient vaccine is available.
The Pfizer vaccine is the only COVID-19 vaccine authorized for use in individuals under age 18. The pediatric dose is lower than the dosage for ages 12 and older; locations carrying the pediatric dose for children ages 5 to 11 are designated by a pin on the map at https://www.coronavirus.in.gov/vaccine/.Pediatric vaccine supplies may be limited initially as shipments arrive on a staggered basis, so appointments may be spread out over several days. Additional sites will be added to the map as vaccine arrives.
A parent or guardian must provide consent for the vaccine, and children under 16 must be accompanied to the vaccination appointment by an adult.
