Some sites, including the FEMA-supported hub at Miami Dade College’s North Campus, will vaccinate those 16- and 17-year-olds only if they are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian with documentation (birth certificate, court paper). Check with specific vaccine providers for information on patients 16 and 17.

The Pfizer vaccine is approved for use in those 16 and older. Other vaccines are for 18+.
