COVID-19 Vaccinations – Minors (5-17 years old)
- Individuals younger than 18 can only receive the Pfizer-BioNTech (Pfizer) COVID-19 vaccine.
- All eligible minors may visit a vaccination site without an appointment and without bringing any documentation (photo ID and proof of age) IF a parent, legal guardian, or relative caregiver is with them at the site.
- If a minor will not have an adult present with them at the vaccination site, an appointment needs to be made AND their parent or legal guardian will need to complete the Consent Form for Minors to provide their consent in advance. Parental consent is required for all eligible minors to be vaccinated. See consent forms on County of San Diego website.
