Texas Children’s Team Members,
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and state have issued the necessary authorization and approvals for administration of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for children 5- to 11-years-old.
Texas Children’s Hospital now has appointments available beginning Wednesday, Nov. 3 and after to provide free Pfizer COVID-19 vaccinations for children and adolescents 5 years or older.
HOW CAN I SCHEDULE AN ADOLESCENT FOR THE COVID-19 VACCINE?
There are two ways for our team members to schedule a vaccine appointment for a child or adolescent aged 5 years or older:
1. If the child receiving the vaccine is a Texas Children’s patient, you can schedule a vaccine appointment for him/her through their MyChart account.
2. If the child does not have a MyChart account, you or anyone in the community can schedule a vaccine appointment for him/her through www.texaschildrens.org/covidscheduling. Feel free to share this link with individuals of any relation to you – a spouse, partner, parent, friend, etc. – who would like to receive a vaccine at Texas Children’s.

Additional information about Texas Children’s COVID-19 vaccination efforts is available on our website. For assistance with registration or scheduling, please contact the Texas Children’s Contact Center at 832-822-4300.
Thank you for your attention and for your continued efforts to protect yourselves and our communities against COVID-19.
