CentraCare officials say the vaccine for this age group is one-tenth the dosage given to adults and will be given in a three-shot regimen.

A parent must provide consent and be present during the appointment.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention approved the Pfizer COVID vaccine for kids ages 6 months to 4-years old on June 18th.
