Coronavirus: White House unveils operational plan for COVID-19 vaccines for young children
said its plan “will ensure that vaccines ... are readily available for our youngest kids” if the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention green-light vaccines for children younger than 5.
“The administration’s vaccination program for America’s youngest children will focus on addressing the specific needs of this age group and their families — recognizing that many parents and guardians will choose to get their kids vaccinated through their pediatrician or primary care doctor,” the statement read.
The White House said it is preparing “for all scenarios, including for the first vaccinations to start as early as the week of June 20.” The administration has made 10 million doses available for states, health centers and pharmacies to pre-order, the release added.
