COVID-19 tests
COVID-19 testing is an option for all kids who have symptoms concerning for COVID, during either a scheduled visit with a provider or in walk-in Ready Care. Availability for COVID-19 testing, and the time it takes to get results, may vary. Call your preferred clinic to schedule. Walk-in COVID-19 testing (with a provider visit) is available at select clinics.
If you are looking for testing without a visit with a provider, there are many options available – you can visit your local retail pharmacy or find a local COVID-19 testing site through the Minnesota Department of Health.
COVID-19 vaccine
The Pfizer-BioNtech COVID-19 vaccine has been approved for ages 6 months and older. Learn more and find out how to schedule your child’s vaccination.
Virtual visits
Clinics may also offer online virtual visits so you can receive care from the comfort of your home. When scheduling your appointment, ask if virtual care is available.
Visitor guidelines
We recommend bringing only the people who need to be at your child’s primary care or specialty clinic visit. Medical grade masks are required for all people over the age of 2. Find out more here.

Children’s Minnesota specialty care clinic updates
Some specialty care clinics at Children’s Minnesota have changed their operations to keep our patients and their families safe. Online telehealth, or virtual care, may be available for some types of appointments at all of our specialty care clinics. Ask as you are scheduling your visit.
Can I still bring my child in for well-child check-ups and care for common illnesses?
- Yes. All types of care offered at our primary care clinics are considered essential care, based on guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics. That means children of all ages can receive both well-child check-ups and routine care for common illnesses. Call your clinic to make an appointment.
- We urge you to keep your child current on immunizations and well-child check-ups, because they are crucial to the growth and development of children.
- We understand that this is a stressful time, so Children’s Minnesota primary care clinics also have appointments available for urgent mental health needs.
- For the safety of patients, families, and staff members, we will ask additional wellness screening questions before well-child check-ups.
Can I walk-in for an ill visit without an appointment?
The following Children’s Minnesota clinics have walk-ins for COVID-19 testing, injury and illness. A visit with a provider is required for COVID-19 testing. Masks continue to be required in the clinic for everyone age 2 and up.
- Children’s Minnesota Minneapolis Clinic
- Partners in Pediatrics Brooklyn Park Clinic
- Partners in Pediatrics Maple Grove Clinic
- Partners in Pediatrics Rogers Clinic
- Partners in Pediatrics St. Louis Park Clinic
Scheduled appointments must be made at all other primary care clinics.
