As of November 4, 2021 children ages 5-11 are eligible to receive Pfizer Vaccine. Appointments are strongly recommended and ALL children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
On December 16, the CDC recommended that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines (i.e., Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines) are preferred over the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine for the prevention of COVID-19 for all people age 18 years or older. This recommendation applies to both primary series and booster doses.
COVID-19 booster doses are now recommended for all individuals ages 12 years and older as follows:
Children ages 5 – 11 years of age are NOT eligible for boosters at this time.

Please use the above links to secure an appointment time. If you are unable to register online, please call 211 at 1-888-696-9211. If you are registering for a booster dose, please have your vaccine card available, you will be asked to confirm your previous vaccination dates.
All individuals attending a Niagara County DOH clinic, will be auto-registered for the 2nd dose appointment at the same location and same time as the 1st dose unless otherwise directed. Anyone that received a 1st dose at a pharmacy or other clinic should use a registration link to register for an appointment at least 21 days after the 1st dose.
All individuals age 5 and older are eligible to receive a Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. However, minors ages 5 to 17 are NOT authorized to receive the Janssen or Moderna COVID-19 Vaccines.
In general, it is strongly encouraged that a parent or legal guardian accompany a minor age 5 to 17 years to provide in-person consent for vaccination at each dose.
If a minor is unaccompanied, the provider will attempt to contact the parent or guardian by phone with a witness listening at the time of the minor’s vaccination to provide consent to the provider. Providers may accept a written statement of consent from the parent or guardian, where the parent or guardian is not available by phone to provide consent to vaccinate an unaccompanied minor.

All minors unaccompanied by a parent or guardian MUST bring the completed COVID-19 Immunization Screening and Consent Form to the clinic or be able to contact parent or legal guardian by phone to provide consent. The minor should also bring ID/proof of date of birth (birth certificate, passport, learning permit/driver’s license, benefits care, etc.).
There are now booster recommendations for all three available COVID-19 vaccines in the United States. Individuals 18 years and older may choose which vaccine they receive as a booster dose. Some people may have a preference for the vaccine type that they originally received, and others may prefer to get a different booster. CDC’s recommendations now allow for this type of mix and match dosing for booster shots
If you received Pfizer-BioNtech:
If you received Moderna
