| Take a SHOT at COVID |
| A new COVID-19 Vaccine Toolkit has recently launched as we begin to vaccinate children under the age of 5. This toolkit of resources aims to assist providers in recommending and securing COVID-19 vaccination in their pediatric patients. Most handouts are available in English and Spanish. Useful videos can be added to your practice website or shared on social media. |
