Boosters and Vaccinations for Ages 12 and Up

The Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccine boosters are now available at Guthrie primary care locations for anyone age 18 or older who received their second dose more than six months ago.

While Guthrie is not currently offering the Johnson & Johnson vaccine booster, those who received the J&J vaccine at least 2 months ago can now receive the Pfizer or Moderna booster. The CDC’s recommendations currently permit receiving a COVID-19 booster vaccine type that is different from what you received for your initial vaccine series.

Appointments are required. Schedule your appointment in eGuthrie or by calling 866-GUTHRIE (866-488-4743).

You must bring your vaccination card with you to your booster appointment.

Vaccination for Ages 5-11

Guthrie offers the Pfizer COVID vaccine to children, ages 5-11. The vaccine is available in select Guthrie Pediatric and Family Medicine offices in Pennsylvania and New York. Additional locations will be added based on vaccine availability.

  • Parents must accompany the child during the injection and appropriate wait time following immunization.
  • The pediatric dose is 0.2 mL, while the adult dose is 0.3 mL.
  • Just like adults, children ages 5-11 who receive the first shot will be scheduled for a second dose three weeks later to be fully vaccinated.

An appointment is required. To check locations and schedule an appointment, parents should use eGuthrie or call Central Scheduling at 866-GUTHRIE (866-488-4743).

Vaccination for Under 5

Guthrie is now offering COVID-19 vaccines to children under 5 years old at select locations.

Corning Pediatrics, Sayre Pediatrics, Southern Tier Pediatrics, and Troy Pediatrics are accepting appointments for the Moderna infant vaccine, available to children ages 6 months to 5 years. Guthrie Wellsboro is accepting appointments for the Pfizer infant vaccine, available to children ages 6 months to 4 years.

Additional locations will be added and will be announced as soon as they are available. Patients can also check eGuthrie for available locations.

  • A parent or guardian must accompany the child during the injection and appropriate wait time following immunization.
  • Just like adults, children under 5 years old who receive the first shot will be scheduled for follow up doses during their appointment.

An appointment is required. To check locations and schedule an appointment, parents should use eGuthrie or call Central Scheduling at 866-GUTHRIE (866-488-4743).
