Sunbury, PA (November 3, 2021) – Weis Markets today issued an update on its in-store pharmacy immunization timetable for the Pfizer-BioNTech children’s COVID-19 vaccine, which was approved on Tuesday evening by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
“We’ve placed a large order for the new Pfizer-BioNTech children’s vaccine and hope to begin immunizing on Friday in some of our pharmacies (listed below),” said Rick Seipp, Weis Markets’ Vice President of Pharmacy. “By November 10, we plan to offer the children’s doses in all 132 of our in-store pharmacies.”
Children ages 5 to 11 will be given two 10-microgram doses or one-third the amount given to individuals 12 and older. According to the manufacturer, the vaccine was shown to be safe and more than 90 percent effective in its trials for children in this age group.
