Your Child’s Whole Health Is Our Whole Focus
From bandaging scraped knees to nursing a cold, keeping our children well is our top priority as parents. Less common than a simple bump or bruise, an undetected heart condition can cause problems if it goes undiagnosed. We’re here to explain the importance of EKG heart screenings during sports physicals, which our teams can provide for your children.

Answers About the COVID-19 Vaccine and Kids
We’re encouraging parents to get children vaccinated to protect the whole family better. With the answers to these frequently asked questions, we hope you feel informed, comfortable and confident as you take steps to keep your family safe and well.
- Is it safe for my young child to receive the COVID-19 vaccine?
-
Yes, the vaccine is safe for children ages 5 to 11. The Pfizer dose for young children contains one-third the amount of active ingredient compared to the adult dosage. For the best protection, children would receive their second dose 21 days or more after their first shot.
- Why can my young child only get the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine?
-
At this time, the Food and Drug Administration has only recommended emergency use authorization of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine in children ages 5 to 11. Children in this age group will receive a lower dose of the vaccine to protect against symptomatic infection and reduce the risk of severe side effects of COVID-19 if they get sick.
- What kind of side effects will my young child get from the COVID-19 vaccine?
-
About half of all people who receive the COVID-19 vaccine experience some side effects, but that’s a result of the immune response brought on by the vaccine, meaning that it’s working. Other common side effects include fatigue, fever, headache and muscle pain.
- I heard young kids can develop heart problems from the COVID-19 vaccine. Is my child at risk?
-
According to the Food and Drug Administration, there is a low risk of myocarditis cases in the 12 to 17 age group, and the risk could be even lower for younger children who receive the vaccine. We encourage you to reach out to your child's pediatrician as he or she can talk through any questions you may have and provide a personalized recommendation.
