Current Clinic Response To COVID-19
As a clinic, we are doing everything we can to protect the safety and health of our patient families, providers, and staff. Thank you for your kindness and your continued patience and understanding as we move through this pandemic together.
COVID-19 Vaccination:
SCHEDULE FIRST DOSE HERE. All appointments are booked at this time. Future events may be planned based on supply, demand, and staffing.
SCHEDULE SECOND DOSE HERE. Only works after scheduling the first.
If you need to cancel, do not call the clinic. Look at your confirmation email for the cancellation link. If you are having trouble scheduling a second dose or cancelling, please reply to the original confirmation email for assistance.
Wayzata Children's Clinic is partnering with Cub Pharmacy to administer the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine to our patients, ages 5-11. This is a smaller pediatric dose than for ages 12+. Cub pharmacists and registered nurses will be in our clinics administering. They are trained and familiar with vaccinating children.
You must schedule/fill out a form for each patient requesting an appointment. Once complete, you’ll receive a confirmation email.

You must be able to commit to both doses before scheduling. Please note that November 28th is Thanksgiving weekend. We ask that you make every effort to attend both appointments.
If you are unable to schedule with us, please be reassured that there will be ample supply in the state of Minnesota, with multiple opportunities to get it. Vaccine will be available at schools, community clinics, pharmacy chains, and Mall of America will have a special child friendly environment with prizes. Carver County, Wright County, and Wayzata Public Schools have also opened their up scheduling links. You can also browse the MN Vaccine Hunters website.

You are your child’s best source of comfort. You will be given tips on how to hold and comfort your child during and after administration. There will be one administrator with your child so we may ask you to help hold.
Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Events at Wayzata Children’s Clinic. We will not be seeing patients for regular appointments during the dates, times, and locations below, therefore you will not be able to reach our staff the day of the event.
For general vaccine questions, call the MDH COVID-19 vaccine hotline at (651) 297-1304 or 1 (800) 657-3504 or visit the MDH website.
If you live in Carver county, you may also call the COVID-19 call center at (952) 361-1559.
COVID-19 Testing: Testing is available at Wayzata Children’s Clinic by appointment only and may be advised depending on your child’s symptoms. Due to supply fluctuations, we do not always have same day testing options. If your child requires testing for an exposure, we encourage use of MDH or Carver county testing sites so we may preserve appointments for children who are ill. See below for community testing centers and testing options.
COVID response at the clinic: All sites implement either physical separation of patients (different entrances and rooms) or different times of day for ill and well visits. A scheduler can provide details for your child’s site when you make your appointment. Open Clinic suspended, no walk-ins. Please call to schedule.
What to expect at your child’s visit: We adhere to the most current national and state infection control standards, including separation of well children from ill, physical distancing in our waiting rooms, and requiring patients over 2 years old, parents, and clinic staff to wear face coverings. Only one parent or guardian may accompany the patient, no siblings please, unless the sibling has an appointment as well. We rigorously clean high touch areas—all scales and equipment as well as each exam room are comprehensively sanitized between each use and cleaning schedules are verified by clinic supervisors throughout each day. Because we have removed books and toys from our waiting rooms, it is helpful to bring items to occupy your child while waiting for your appointment. We will ask screening questions and may take your temperature upon arrival. Please note that you may be asked to reschedule if you, your child, or a family member has had any ill symptoms over the past 72 hours. It’s still recommended that every child continues to follow the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) guidelines for immunizations, even if the process looks a little different because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Telehealth: Many appointments (medication follow ups, skin concerns, certain illness visits) can be done via telehealth. This minimizes exposure risk for your child and our staff. Our schedulers can guide you on whether this is an option for your child’s appointment.
