Your child may get a COVID-19 vaccine and other vaccines, including flu vaccine, at the same time. While COVID-19 tends to be milder in children compared with adults, it can make children very sick and cause children to be hospitalized. In some situations, the complications from infection can lead to death. Although children are at a lower risk of becoming severely ill with COVID-19 compared with adults, children can Be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 Get very sick from COVID-19 Have both short and long-term health complications from COVID-19 Spread COVID-19 to others Scientists have conducted clinical trials with about 3,000 children and the FDA has determined that the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine has met the safety and efficacy standards for authorization in children ages 5 through 15 years. Children ages 5 through 11 years receive one-third of the adult dose of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine. Smaller needles, designed specifically for children, are used for children ages 5- 11 years. Adolescents ages 12 years and older receive the same dosage of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine as adults. Vaccination can also help keep children from getting seriously sick even if they do get COVID-19. Vaccinating children ages 5 years and older can help keep them in school and help them safely participate in sports, playdates, and other group activities. Your child will need a second shot of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine three weeks after their first shot. Your child may have some side effects, which are normal signs that their body is building protection. You can read more about possible, yet rare, side effects of the vaccine here. There is no evidence that COVID-19 vaccines cause fertility problems.

Fever or chills Cough Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing Fatigue Muscle or body aches Headache New loss of taste or smell Sore throat Congestion or runny nose Nausea or vomiting Diarrhea *This list does not include all possible symptoms. People who have come into close contact with someone with COVID-19 should be tested to check for infection: People who are not fully vaccinated should get tested immediately when they find out they are a close contact. If their test result is negative, they should get tested again 5–7 days after their last exposure or immediately if symptoms develop. Fully vaccinated people should be tested 5–7 days after their last exposure. People who have tested positive for COVID-19 within the past 90 days and recovered, as long as they do not develop new symptoms, do not need to get tested. If you test positive for COVID-19, take the following steps to protect others regardless of your COVID-19 vaccination status: Isolate at home and isolate away from others for at least 10 days. If you do not have any symptoms, you should still isolate at home for at least 10 days. If you develop symptoms, continue to isolate for at least 10 days after symptoms began as long as symptoms have improved, and no fever is present for at least 24 hours without use of fever-reducing medications. If you are someone who has underlying medical conditions or are older, contact your healthcare provider for further guidance, especially if your symptoms get worse. If you have additional questions or concerns, contact Mesa County Public Health at 970-248-6900. See the most current COVID data from Mesa County Public Health here. Quarantine vs. Isolation You quarantine when you might have been exposed to the virus. Quarantine means staying home for 14 days after you are exposed to someone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19. Quarantine if you have been in close contact (within 6 feet of someone for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period) with someone who has COVID-19, unless you have been fully vaccinated. People who are fully vaccinated do NOT need to quarantine after contact with someone who had COVID-19 unless they have symptoms. However, fully vaccinated people should get tested 5-7 days after their exposure and carefully monitor symptoms. Even if they don’t have symptoms, it is recommended that they wear a mask indoors in public for 14 days following exposure or until their test result is negative You isolate when COVID-19 Vaccine and Booster Information Primary Care Partners strongly encourages everyone to get the COVID vaccine. All individuals, ages 5 and up, are eligible and can easily receive a COVID-19 vaccine during their routine appointments with their primary care physician, or schedule an appointment at the Mesa County Health Department, The MCPH Community Vaccination Site operates Wednesday through Friday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. appointments can be scheduled online here. CDC recommends everyone ages 5 and older get a COVID-19 vaccine to help protect against COVID-19. Widespread vaccination for COVID-19 is a critical tool to best protect everyone, especially those at highest risk, from severe illness and death. People who are fully vaccinated can safely resume many activities that they did prior to the pandemic. COVID-19 Vaccine Booster Shots for Eligible Recipients All individuals 18 years and older are eligible for the booster vaccine. People 65 years and older, 50–64 years with underlying medical conditions, or 18 years and older who live in long-term care settings should receive a booster shot. People 18 years and older should receive a booster shot at least 2 months after receiving their Johnson & Johnson/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine. Choosing Your COVID-19 Booster Shot: You may choose which COVID-19 vaccine you receive as a booster shot. 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 or Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine Older adults age 65 years and older Long-term care setting residents ages 18 years and older People with underlying medical conditions ages 50–64 years People with underlying medical conditions ages 18–49 years People who work or live in high-risk settings ages 18–64 years Examples of workers who may get COVID-19 booster shots: First responders (e.g., healthcare workers, firefighters, police, congregate care staff) Education staff (e.g., teachers, support staff, daycare workers) Food and agriculture workers Manufacturing workers Corrections workers S.
