The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that all children six months and older be vaccinated against COVID-19.

In Los Angeles County, more than 900 vaccination sites are scheduled to offer the vaccines to these youngest children including more than 500 mobile sites, 200 pharmacies and seven Public Health Points of Dispensing. Some pharmacy sites are only licensed to vaccinate children age three and older, so parents are encouraged to reach out ahead of time to verify hours and availability.

The L.A. County Department of Public Health continues to offer vaccination for all the current eligible groups which is now expanded to children six months and older.

Check the L.A. County Covid-19 website on information on where to vaccinate children under five.

Public Health will continue to offer mobile vaccination clinics at no cost. If you have a special event coming up or your organization is interested in hosting a vaccination clinic, please submit a request using the following form which is available in english or spanish.
