Temple Beth Shalom COVID-19 and Flu Clinic
Holtzman Medical Group, in partnership with Temple Beth Shalom, will be operating a pediatric COVID-19 and Flu vaccination clinic on Thursday, December 5th 2024, from 3:00pm-6:00pm. This clinic is exclusively for children ages 6months - 18 years.
Please read all information below before booking.
COVID-19 vaccines:
Holtzman Medical will be carrying the the updated 2024-2025 Moderna vaccine (monovalent, KP.2). The COVID-19 vaccine will be available at no out of pocket cost. We will bill your insurance for both the vaccine and its administration. However, adults without insurance, or those whose insurance does not cover the vaccine (including some cases where HMOs deny claims due to out-of-network issues), may need to seek alternative options. Unfortunately, the Bridge to Access program (funding the gap last year) ended in August due to lack of federal funding. Individuals may choose to pay out of pocket at our clinic, with the following pricing: $175 COVID-19 and $25 FLU.
Staying Up to Date with COVID-19 Vaccines:
Unvaccinated children 6 months through 4 years of age are eligible to receive 2 doses of the updated 2024-2025 Moderna COVID-19 vaccine
Children 6 months through 4 years of age who have previously been vaccinated against COVID-19 are eligible to receive one doses of an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (timing and number of doses to administer depends on the previous COVID-19 vaccine received)
Individuals 5 years of age and older regardless of previous vaccination are eligible to receive a single dose of an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine
Individuals ages 12 years and older regardless of previous vaccination are eligible to receive a single dose of an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine
Individuals 65 years and older an additional COVID-19 vaccine dose— beyond what is listed above—is NOT currently recommended unless you are moderately or severely immunocompromised
