COVID-19 Booster Now Available for Children Aged 5-11 Years

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) recently authorized and endorsed a single
booster dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for children aged 5-11
years at least five months after completion of a Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19
vaccine primary series. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
will continue to ensure that coverage is available for this critical
protection from the virus that causes COVID-19, including this new booster
dose, without cost-sharing.

The best way to protect yourself and your children from COVID-19 is to get
vaccinated. Parents, if you have not gotten vaccinated, or have not taken
your children to get vaccinated, now is the time.  Continued safety
monitoring shows that the COVID-19 vaccines are safe for children and
teens. In addition, they are effective at preventing severe illness from
infection with the virus. CMS is helping to ensure that cost is not a
barrier to access, including for boosters. The federal government is
providing vaccines free of charge to everyone 5 years and older living in
the United States, regardless of their immigration or health insurance
status. People can visit vaccines.gov (English) or vacunas.gov (Spanish) to
search for vaccines nearby. CMS continues to explore ways to ensure maximum
access to COVID-19 vaccinations and boosters. There are numerous resources
available.  Organizations can use the free, customizable materials from the
