Pediatric Vaccines
Pediatric COVID-19 vaccines for children 5-11 from Pfizer have now been approved as safe and effective by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) authorized for Emergency Use. Vaccinating children is important for their safety, as well as that of their families, teachers, and classmates.
How to get an appointment:
- Appointments are required at City vaccine clinics for kids 5-11
- Seattle Public Schools has school-day and regional clinics for kids 5-11 (see schedule)
- Many community partners may have appointments for kids 5-11 (search here, filter by vaccine type)
Current supply levels mean appointments may not be immediately available, we appreciate your patience as we expect this situation to resolve in the coming weeks. You can find more information about COVID-19 pediatric vaccines from the CDC here.
Booster Eligibility
Booster doses for COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson and Johnson (J&J) have now been approved as safe and effective by the FDA and CDC for eligible groups. Booster doses strengthen protections against infection and serious illness including the Delta variant.
Current Eligibility criteria:
- Anyone 18 years old or older who received a J&J vaccine at least two months ago is eligible
- Anyone 18 years old or older who received a Pfizer or Moderna vaccine at least six months ago is eligible
- Anyone 18 years old or older who received Moderna or Pfizer more than 28 days who is moderately to severely immunocompromised
The CDC allows individuals to mix and match dosing for booster shots, so your booster does not need to be the same as your original vaccine. You can find more information about COVID-19 booster shots from the CDC here.

FAQ for Immigrant and Refugee Residents
-
Will I be asked about my immigration status to receive the vaccine?
No. In Washington state, all eligible residents are able to receive a vaccine, regardless of your immigration and citizenship status. Vaccine providers should not be asking about your immigration status. The Biden/Harris administration has declared that all vaccine sites are sensitive locations and immigration enforcement agencies will not carry out operations at or near such facilities, which also include health care facilities and hospitals. -
Will I be required to pay or have insurance to receive the vaccine?
No. There is no cost for the COVID-19 vaccine. The vaccine will be covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance. And the cost of the vaccine will be covered for people who are uninsured. -
Will receiving the vaccine impact my ability to become a U.S. citizen?
No. Testing and treatment for COVID-19 (including vaccination) will not count against you for the public charge test. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the Department of State are no longer enforcing the Trump-era public charge rule. -
What are the ingredients in the vaccine?
The key ingredient in both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines is mRNA, which tells your cells how to make a protein from the coronavirus, allowing it to recognize COVID-19 and protect you from infection. These vaccines also contain lipids, salts, and sugar.
The key ingredient in the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is adenovirus 26, a harmless virus used to deliver the spike protein that's on the surface of the coronavirus to our cells. The cells can then recognize COVID-19 and protect you from infection. This vaccine also contains citric acid and ethanol.
The vaccines DO NOT contain: pork products, egg, latex, blood products, COVID-19 virus cells, mercury, or microchips.
More information, including translated FAQs, are available at Public Health - Seattle & King County.
The City's Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs (OIRA) has partnered with community groups to host a series of in-language helplines to answer questions and/or find vaccination opportunities for immigrant and refugee residents who are limited English proficient and/or have limited access to the internet.
