Update on Pediatric Vaccinations for Kids 6 months to 4 years old

Since COVID-19 vaccines first became available to our youngest residents two weeks ago, 1,221 Marin County children ages six months to 5 years have received their first dose. In most pediatric vaccination locations, both the Pfizer (3 dose regimen) and the Moderna (2 dose regimen) products are being offered. So far, parents are choosing the Moderna products slightly more frequently (63 percent). Many parents choosing this product prefer the convenience of the two-dose regimen that can be completed in one month. Pediatric practices across Marin are continuing to make vaccine appointments available to families. View upcoming vaccination opportunities at GetVaccinatedMarin.org.

Older Adults: Second Boosters Reduce Risk

COVID-19 transmission rates continue to be high in Marin County and across the region. Local data shows that the second booster significantly reduces risk of COVID-19 infection, hospitalization and mortality. Still, 34 percent of Marin residents age 65 or older have not received a second booster dose. The most important risk factor for hospitalization or death from COVID-19 and Marin is older age. Residents are encouraged to take advantage of the many locations across the county offering second boosters, to limit the risk of preventable illness as the virus continues to circulate widely.
