Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce issued the following announcement on June 28.
Prevea Health will provide COVID-19 vaccines for children as young as six months old beginning July 6 at locations across Wisconsin, following approvals and recommendations from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, FDA and the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.
Prevea Health encourages families to speak with their child’s pediatrician or other primary care provider about COVID-19 vaccination. The below information is for those who wish to schedule an appointment for a child now eligible for COVID-19 vaccination under the latest recommendations.
For existing Prevea Health patients:
If your child is already scheduled for a visit (such as a well-check) with their pediatrician or other primary care provider, a COVID-19 vaccination can be requested and provided at that appointment, beginning July 6. If you do not have an appointment already scheduled, please call your Prevea Health pediatrician or other Prevea Health primary care provider directly or use *MyPrevea to schedule an appointment for COVID-19 vaccination. Scheduling for these appointments will begin June 28.
For those not established with a Prevea Health pediatrician or other primary care provider:
COVID-19 vaccinations will be available with Prevea Health pediatricians and other primary care providers at Prevea Health locations across Wisconsin, beginning July 6. You do not have to be an established patient with Prevea. To make an appointment, you may use *MyPrevea or call 1-833-344-4373. Scheduling for these appointments will begin June 28.
*MyPrevea is available as an app to download on to any smartphone or device, or at www.myprevea.com. It is accessible to anyone and available at no cost. You do not have to be a Prevea patient to access MyPrevea, although you must create an account.
