COVID-19 vaccine appointments are available for children ages 6 months – 11 years in the MyScripps patient portal. Vaccines are by appointment only. You can also visit http://www.vaccines.gov to find alternative locations offering COVID-19 pediatric vaccines.  Scripps is only offering the Moderna vaccine for patients ages 6 months – 4 years. For this age group, the Moderna vaccine is a two-dose series (versus three doses) and has a higher efficacy rate.   If you haven’t done so already, we encourage you to sign up for a MyScripps proxy account if you are the parent or guardian of a minor. This will allow you to schedule a vaccine appointment for your child. Log in to your MyScripps account, go to request access to a minor and submit a form for each child you’d like access to. You may also set up proxy access in person at any Scripps facility.
