Indianapolis, Indiana — The Marion County Public Health Department is now offering the vaccine for young Hoosiers ages 6 months to 4 years old.
On June 17, the CDC gave authorization to both Pfizer and Moderna for this age group.

“By offering this vaccine, we have taken another very significant step forward in our ongoing fight against COVID-19,” said Virginia A. Caine, M.D., director and chief medical officer of the Marion County Public Health Department. “While some parents are ready to get their children vaccinated, others might still have questions. I encourage parents and caregivers to talk to their health professionals to learn more about the benefits and the importance of getting them vaccinated.”
