Quad City Hy-Vee Pharmacies Offering COVID-19 Vaccines to Individuals Ages 12-15
Hy-Vee Pharmacies have been offering free COVID-19 vaccine shots basically since they became available. They have been helping the public become vaccinated against the virus and in a recent announcement, Hy-Vee have begun offering the vaccine to even more people.
In a press release on Thursday, Hy-Vee announced that all Hy-Vee pharmacy locations, including the 11 Hy-Vee Pharmacies in the Quad Cities, are now administering free COVID-19 vaccines to those that are ages 12 to 15. This announcement from Hy-Vee comes after the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) recently approved the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for that age group.
Officials from Hy-Vee say they have been offering the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine to people 16 and older for several weeks now.
For people who are a minor that want to get the vaccine, they must have parental or guardian consent in order to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. Officials from Hy-Vee asks that a parent or guardian accompany minors. Because the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine requires two shots, a parent or guardian need to be with the minor for both their first and second dose COVID-19 vaccinations.
