Getting your COVID-19 Vaccine…

Every person age 6 months and older is eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Newport Health Center administers the following vaccine:

• Comirnaty / Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine (12+ years old)
  • Monovalent and Bivalent (Omicron) vaccines
• “Baby” Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine (6 months – 4 years old)
• Pediatric Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine (5 – 11 years old)
• Spikevax / Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine (18+ years old)
  • Monovalent and Bivalent (Omicron) vaccines
• Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine (18+ years old)

Baby & Pediatric COVID-19 Vaccine: Newport Health Center is administering Baby and Pediatric Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 6 months to 11 years old. These vaccines are provided during regular primary care provider visits and during nurse-only visits. All COVID-19 vaccines will be offered via nurse-only appointments  or during regular visits with primary care providers, Monday through Friday. For more information regarding the Baby Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, please read the Fact Sheet for Recipients and Caregivers (6 months – 4 years old). For more information regarding the Pediatric Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, please read the Fact Sheet for Recipients and Caregivers (5 – 11 years old). 

• Moderately to severely immunocompromised children ages 5-11 may now receive an additional primary dose of Pfizer vaccine to ensure optimal protection. (Note: the FDA has not yet approved boosters for this age group, so the additional dose is still considered primary)

Booster Dose Recommendations:  As of 9/12/2022, Newport Health Center is able to administer bivalent (Omicron) booster doses for individuals 12 years and older.  Updated COVID-19 boosters add Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 spike protein components to the current vaccine composition, helping restore protection that has waned since previous vaccination by targeting variants that are more transmissible and immune-evading.

• Children ages 5-11 should receive a booster dose five months after completing their primary vaccine series. Immunocompromised children should receive their booster at least three months after their primary series. Children in this age group will receive the Pfizer BioNTech Pediatric vaccine.
