CareSouth Carolina now offering COVID-19 Boosters for ages 12&up

With the contagiousness of the Omicron variant, CareSouth Carolina is joining with the CDC and strongly encouraging you to get your COVID-19 vaccine and booster shot if you haven’t done so already.

CareSouth Carolina is now offering the Pfizer COVID-19 booster shot for ages 12 & up. For those ages 12 and up, the booster can be given six months after being fully vaccinated. Children ages 5-11 are not currently approved to receive a booster shot. 

To schedule your child for a vaccine or a booster shot, please contact the CareSouth Carolina Hartsville Pediatrics, Bishopville, Bennettsville Pediatrics or Latta Center to make an appointment.

Before recommending COVID-19 vaccination for children, scientists conducted clinical trials with thousands of children and no serious safety concerns were identified. The FDA gave the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine emergency authorization to use in children ages 5-15 years old and full approval to use in people ages 16 years and older. 

Pfizer vaccine for ages 5-17

The Pfizer vaccine is currently the only vaccine approved for those ages 5-17. We currently offer the vaccine at five of our medical offices.

To schedule your child for a vaccine or a booster shot, please contact the CareSouth Carolina Hartsville Pediatrics, Bishopville Pediatrics, Bennettsville Pediatrics or Latta Center to make an appointment.

For the latest updates and availability, please visit caresouth-carolina.com or give one of our offices a call.
