The day has come for parents to vaccinate their babies and toddlers. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently authorized COVID-19 vaccines for children as young as 6 months, and providers are slowly beginning to offer the vaccines in Nashville. 

Wednesday through Saturday, the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt will offer vaccines to babies and toddlers at the main campus by appointment online or by calling 615-936-5437 (KIDS). Vanderbilt will also offer vaccines to children leaving inpatient care at the children’s hospital and on an ongoing basis at its 100 Oaks and Children’s Primary Care Smyrna locations by appointment for this age group. Vanderbilt has ordered 1,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine across its clinics to start, according to spokesperson Jessica Pasley.
