Scheduling COVID Vaccine appointments

Updated as of August 10, 2022

COVID Information for all Ages

NAP supports the CDC recommendation that all children ages 6 months and up be vaccinated against COVID-19. While COVID-19 is not as severe in children as it is in the adult populations, it still causes infections, hospitalizations, and deaths in comparable numbers to other diseases in which we vaccinate.

• NAP holds mini-vaccine clinics in our Amherst office every Friday. Due to demand, we are focusing on vaccinating our youngest patients ages 6 months to 4 years at these clinics in August and cannot provide boosters to older children at those clinics. Older children requiring initial vaccines or booster doses may visit some of the sites listed below to find a vaccination site.

• Covid vaccine will still be available at most regular well visits.

• NAP is offering the Pfizer COVID vaccine. Data has shown it to be both effective and safe in preventing COVID-19. The dose schedule for this vaccine is 3 weeks between the 1st and 2nd dose and 2 months between the 2nd and 3rd dose.

• We are once again partnering with the City of Northampton to offer this vaccine at their clinics. They will have both the Pfizer and Moderna brands. Please visit the city’s website for more information.

• If your child had COVID recently, they can still receive this vaccine if it has been 10 days since testing positive and their symptoms have resolved. However, our providers also think it is reasonable to wait 3 months since their infection since your child will likely still have good immunity during this period and therefore, they are not at as much risk for reinfection.
