Vaccination Options for Children Ages 5 to 11

The CDC recommends all children between the ages of 5 and 11 receive the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Booster doses of the COVID-19 vaccine are now available to everyone age 5+ who completed their primary series five or more months ago. Booster doses are available in many places, including healthcare providers, clinics and neighborhood pharmacies. Californians can visit the My Turn webpage (MyTurn.ca.gov) or call 833-422-4255 to make an appointment or find a walk-in vaccine clinic near you.

To verify vaccination status, the State of California has provided an online portal to display an electronic record of the vaccination: myvaccinerecord.cdph.ca.gov.
