COVID-19 Vaccine Updates

Anderson Hills Pediatrics continues to monitor and assess COVID-19 vaccine information as it becomes available. Our main priority has always been to make sure of  the safety of our patients, our team, and physicians.

The COVID vaccine manufactured by Pfizer received Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the FDA, but it is not yet available to the general public and not approved for patients under the age of 16 years. The initial vaccines were shipped in limited quantities for high-risk healthcare workers, first responders, and long-term care facility residents.

While we have applied for vaccines with the Ohio Department of Health, we currently do not have any vaccines available at our offices. While we did apply for vaccines, we also do not have a timeframe in which those may be arriving or how many we might receive. We do know that supplies are limited, so the vaccine will be distributed to the community in phases based on risk of exposure and disease severity, as outlined by the CDC. General public vaccine availability will be determined based upon how rapid vaccine doses can be produced and distributed. We have heard that this may be around Spring/Summer of 2021.
