ISDH Data 11-04-21

The Indiana State Department of Health announced Hoosiers ages 5 to 11 are now eligible for a free COVID-19 vaccine following Tuesday’s authorization of the pediatric vaccine by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Pfizer vaccine is the only COVID-19 vaccine currently authorized for use in individuals under age 18.

“Having a COVID-19 vaccine available to our younger Hoosiers is a game-changer in terms of our efforts to keep children healthy and in school for in-person learning,” said State Health Commissioner Kris Box, M.D., FACOG. “Fully vaccinated individuals do not have to quarantine if they are exposed but have no symptoms, so I encourage parents to get their children vaccinated if they are eligible.”
