We are excited that Arizona will soon be opening COVID vaccine availability down to younger age groups. The providers at North Scottsdale Pediatrics recommend COVID vaccine for all those 16 years of age and older who do not have contraindications to the vaccine. The Pfizer vaccine is approved for 16 years and older while the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines are approved for 18 years and older at this time. We encourage you to sign up online at

Contraindications to the vaccine include previous allergic reaction to polysorbate (the active ingredient in MiraLax). Caution is also recommended for those persons with a history of an immediate allergic reaction to any vaccine or injectable therapy. If you have questions, please contact your provider by sending a message over the portal.
North Scottsdale Pediatrics does not currently have COVID vaccines. Vaccine has not yet been distributed to private practice offices. We will keep this website updated and let you know if and when that changes.
