Where can I get a free COVID vaccine for my child?

Pediatrician Edith Bracho-Sanchez, MD explains that FREE COVID-19 vaccines are available for children at pediatrician’s offices, vaccination centers and, in some places, pharmacies.

For kids, just like they’ve been for adults, COVID-19 vaccines are free. They are totally 100% free. The best place to check is your pediatrician’s office. But, we know that with time, there are going to be more and more vaccination clinics. And, depending on the age of your child and where you live in the country, some pharmacists may also be able to give your kid the COVID-19 vaccine.
