The Covid-19 Vaccine Program at SSP: the latest update - 10/31/2021
We are excited about the SSP Covid Vaccine Program for ages 5-11 and we want to share the latest updates as the CDC will meet on Tuesday for the final approval and all our SSP families are anxious to schedule an appointment :-)
UPDATES as of 10/31/21:
1. SSP has not received a shipment notification as of today but the infrastructure to schedule appointments is ready.
2. As soon as SSP receives the first shipment we will send out an EMAIL about how to schedule appointments. In the meantime here are some guidelines.
3. If you have a flu vaccine appointment you won't need to schedule an extra one. Your child will be offered the Covid vaccine at that time.
4. If you have an Annual Visit/Preventive Care appointment already scheduled you won't need to book an extra one. Your child will be offered the Covid vaccine at that time.
5. It will NOT be possible to administer the Covid vaccine during same day sick visits.
6. SSP is thinking out of the box and will open on a Saturday for a Covid Vaccine Clinic (details will be emailed next week). We are looking for Volunteers from our SSP Families who are licensed to administer vaccines.
7. The Covid Vaccine program at SSP will be exclusively for SSP Families until we are able to vaccinate all eligible SSP patients. It will then open up to the general public.
Please WATCH this detailed short VIDEO for all details.
What you can do to help?
1. Share this post with your friends who come to SSP in case they missed it.
2. Avoid calling the office to ask for updates, we will communicate with you as usual.
3. Be on the lookout for an email this week about SCHEDULING PROTOCOLS.
Let's get excited and let's also be ready to work together so we can help our kids get protected.

- We were approved months ago by the DOH to administer the Covid-19 vaccine and we have been doing so for all adults ages 18yo and older. We did this to help the community and practice for you.
- Last week we were able to pre-order the Pfizer Covid vaccine for ages 5-11 but we have no information as to when it will be officially approved, available or when it will be shipped to us.
- We are keeping up with the news and we are working to create protocols to schedule visits for the Covid vaccine.

3. The office is sanitized often and the rooms are sanitized before and after each use.
4. We are limiting only 3 families at a time to be scheduled at the same time for a visit to limit the number of individuals at the office.
