The San Mateo County Health Department has been working with local pediatric health care providers to help them prepare to administer COVID-19 vaccinations to children under age 5 following approval from the FDA, CDC, and regional and state authorities.
This was confirmed by local health authorities, who specified that the main health systems have confirmed that they are well prepared to offer vaccination to their patients/members under 5 years of age.
Believing that the best place for young children to receive vaccines is under the care of a pediatric provider, San Mateo County Health will not offer large-scale vaccine clinics for children under age 5 at its community clinics.
Instead, you need to offer small-scale clinics at Early Head Start sites and staff and administrative support to interested pediatric providers serving families with private insurance.
