Children’s recommends vaccination for everyone eligible. At this time, everyone age 6 months and older is eligible for initial vaccination, and everyone age 5 and older is eligible for booster dose. In addition, UAB Medicine is offering COVID-19 vaccines at varying locations. If possible, children should be vaccinated at their primary care physician’s (PCP) office, a local pharmacy or community vaccination site. Children’s is providing vaccinations to qualified patients only in some of our outpatient clinics, designated primary care practices throughout the Birmingham area, and for inpatients as ordered by a physician.
While Children’s of Alabama (hospital) is not a mass vaccination site, eligible individuals may also receive the vaccine at any community site.
