The Food and Drug Administration says the shots are safe and proven to be almost 91 percent effective in preventing COVID-19 in a study of 2,268 children.
The White House is providing local school districts with tools to help encourage children ages 5 to 11 to receive the COVID-19 vaccination and to have pharmacies partner with schools to administer the vaccine seamlessly.
The administration is also asking schools to host community conversations and share information on the benefits of vaccines with parents in an effort to combat any disinformation. The White House is working with the American Academy of Pediatrics to partner local physicians with schools in order to share science-based information about the kid-sized shots.
The push for vaccines comes days after federal regulators recommended the Pfizer vaccine for 5- to 11-year-olds, the Food and Drug Administration concluding the shots are safe and proven to be almost 91 percent effective in preventing COVID-19 in a study of 2,268 children.The Biden Administration is urging elementary schools to set up vaccine clinics and provide more information about the newly approved Pfizer kid-size vaccines.
