Use your Allina Health account to schedule the appointments you need. If your child has their own account, they can sign in into it to schedule. If you access your child's account through your Allina Health account, then you can sign in to schedule on your child's behalf.
Which vaccines are being administered
When you schedule, you will be able to select from several locations to find one that is most convenient for you or to fit the type of vaccine you prefer (see list below).
Note that only the Moderna and Pfizer vaccine are approved for children, and for this age group parental consent (either verbal or written) is required.
Allina Health administers vaccines that are allocated from the government, and that may change from week to week. All FDA-approved vaccines are safe and effective at preventing moderate or severe complications from COVID-19. While rare and serious side effects have been reported, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) have concluded that the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks. You can learn more about these vaccines and potential health impacts on the FDA COVID-19 vaccines page. If you have any concerns about symptoms or side effects of any COVID-19 vaccine, please contact your health care provider directly.
Allina Health is not currently taking appointments to give the Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) vaccine. Per the CDC, in most situations, Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines are preferred over the Janssen (Johnson & Johnson's) COVID-19 vaccine for primary and booster vaccination. Read the latest CDC media statement on this topic.
