BREAKING: Kids aged 5 to 11 will soon be able to get a COVID-19 shot at their pediatrician’s office, local pharmacy and potentially even at school. The White House is detailing plans for the expected authorization of the Pfizer shot for younger children. apne.ws/CpTcKfO
The Pfizer vaccine requires two doses spaced three weeks apart, meaning kids who get their first shot of the vaccine within a couple weeks of the expected approval in early November will be fully vaccinated by Christmas. apne.ws/k1OgNOL
Children are at lower risk of having serious side effects from COVID-19, but those serious consequences do occur. Officials note that vaccination both dramatically reduces those chances and will reduce the spread of the delta variant. apne.ws/XWompUY
