St. Luke’s Health System will offer Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine boosters for 12- to 15-year-old children, after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention this month expanded the eligibility for boosters to include that age group.

Additionally, St. Luke’s is scheduling booster shots for 5- to 11-year-old children who are moderately or severely immunocompromised. St. Luke’s will begin to schedule shots for the two groups at 7 p.m. Monday.

The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is the only COVID-19 vaccine currently authorized for adolescents aged 12-17. The CDC recommends adolescents receive a booster shot five months after completing their initial two-dose series of the Pfizer vaccine.

The CDC also recommends that moderately or severely immunocompromised 5- to 11-year-olds receive an additional vaccine dose 28 days after their second shot.

To schedule an appointment, visit MyChart, an online scheduling and records portal, at stlukesonline.org/mychart. Parents or guardians should create a MyChart account for their children and set up proxy access.

Those unable to access MyChart can schedule an appointment by calling 208-381-9500.

  • Hamas official says group would lay down its weapons if a two-state solution is implemented

    A top Hamas political official told The Associated Press the Islamic militant group is willing to agree to a truce of five years or more with Israel and that it would lay down its weapons and convert into a political party if an independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders. The suggestion that Hamas would disarm appeared to be a significant concession by the militant group officially committed to Israel’s destruction. It has vowed to crush Hamas following the deadly Oct. 7 attacks that triggered the war, and its current leadership is adamantly opposed to the creation of a Palestinian state on lands Israel captured in the 1967 Mideast war.
