We Can Now Vaccinate Special Needs Caregivers

Muskegon Pediatrics is pleased to announce the availability of Covid vaccinations for parents and caregivers of children with special needs, disabilities or medical conditions that may increase the risk of serious complications of an infection.​

Parents, grandparents and other caregivers of these children may register themselves using the link below and we will contact you with information on scheduling a specific appointment time at our office.

To register for a vaccine appointment complete this form: https://hipaa.jotform.com/210648306388056

I know there are concerns about the safety of getting the COVID vaccine while pregnant or breastfeeding. It is safe and important to get the COVID vaccine even if pregnant or breastfeeding - you can continue to safely breastfeed - you do not need to pump and dump.

Other Covid Vaccine Eligibility

More priority tiers are now eligible to receive the vaccine including recently added 50 and older with underlying health conditions. If you or your loved one needs help signing up, please call Muskegon Pediatrics and we will assist you.
