Coronavirus

At Nemours, we know how important it is for kids to stay on track with well-child visits and treatment for illnesses, injuries and chronic conditions. That’s why we’ve taken extraordinary steps to make sure you feel comfortable seeing your Nemours provider during the COVID-19 pandemic. We’re ready to safely provide the care your child needs, either in our offices or through a live video visit.

Mask Still Required at Nemours for Now
Some parents have asked if the new CDC guidance on masking means that masks are no longer required at Nemours. To protect our patients — many of whom are too young to be vaccinated or are immunocompromised — Nemours will continue to require everyone age 2 and older to wear an approved mask while in a Nemours facility, even if they are fully vaccinated. Together, we can keep our most vulnerable patients safe.

The COVID-19 Vaccine and Kids
Parents across the country are asking pediatricians the same question: “Can my child get a COVID-19 vaccine?” Here’s what you should know:

• The Pfizer BioNTech vaccine has been authorized for kids age 12 and older.
• Clinical trials are taking place to determine the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine in kids younger than 12.
• At Nemours, we are encouraging parents to have their eligible children vaccinated as soon as possible.
