The Stormont Vail Health Emporia Clinic is offering COVID-19 vaccines for pediatric patients. Appointments are available for children who are established patients. Call (620) 343-2900 to schedule your child’s vaccination.

Staying up to date on COVID-19 vaccination is essential for protection against severe illness, hospitalization, and complications such as Long COVID. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends the 2025–2026 COVID-19 vaccine for everyone ages six months and older, based on individual decision-making with a healthcare provider.

This includes children and adolescents, who benefit from vaccination to reduce the risk of severe disease and help maintain immunity as protection decreases over time.
