Hello GROW community!
Our small but mighty team here at the clinic is working doubletime to try to accommodate everyone who is on the wait list for the under 5 Covid-19 vaccine. In an effort to keep our front desk phone lines open for scheduling and checking in patients, please avoid calling the office to check on the waitlist. If your child is not on it yet and you’d like to add them, please email us at GROWfrontdesk@gmail.com
As we order and are allocated additional doses from the state, we pick back up on the waitlist where we left off, ensuring that everyone who expressed interest receives a call when we have a dose available for them.
There are many resources locally where you can obtain an Covid-19 vaccine for your child; both Moderna and Pfizer! While pharmacies only vaccinate children aged 3 and up, the following facilities will schedule a shot appointment for your baby who is 6 months and older:

Dell Children’s Medical Center; Pfizer vaccine walk-in clinics 6/29, 7/29 and 7/17. Info below:
We’d love to be able to persionally vaccinate every one of our GROW patients, but are limited by resources. Any of the facilites offering the vaccine should be considered, and we encourage you to take advantage of those opportunities.
