COVID-19 VACCINES FOR CHILDREN 5+

The CDC has recently expanded eligibility for COVID-19 vaccination. Children ages 5-11 are now able to receive the Pfizer vaccine. This means that nearly everyone 5 years and older can get vaccinated and combat transmission, illness, and death from COVID-19. Even better, families can reunite with more safety, peace of mind, and a sense of normalcy.

PROOF OF VACCINATION

Right now, only certain establishments like bars, venues, and nightclubs require proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 in Los Angeles County. However, other businesses may choose to require proof of vaccination to protect customers and employees. Later this November, LA plans to mandate proof of full vaccination to enter indoor restaurants, malls, venues, salons, gyms and other places.  There are a few different ways you can provide proof: 

·      Bring your white vaccination card you received at your appointment, or a yellow WHO vaccination card

·      Bring documentation from a healthcare provider

·      Bring a digital vaccination record from the California Department of Public Health or from an approved company

One way to receive a convenient, digital vaccination record from the California Department of Public Health is to visit the Digital COVID-19 Vaccine Record and enter your name and birthdate. You then will receive a document to your email or mobile phone that shows your proof of vaccination.
