Covid vaccinations for the youngest children could begin as early as June 21 if the shots are cleared by federal regulators, White House Covid coordinator Ashish Jha said Thursday.
“We expect that vaccinations will begin in earnest as early as Tuesday June 21 and really roll out throughout that week,” Jha told reporters at a White House briefing on the status of vaccination efforts.
Food and Drug Administration advisers are scheduled to discuss vaccinations for kids 6 months to 4 years old during a June 14-15 meeting, and the White House expects the FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to make their recommendations soon after, Jha said. Vaccines would start arriving at health care facilities the following weekend if they are approved, he added.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen
LTC David Brown So all kids have had Covid and developed natural immunity? Remember the latest variation was tougher on kids than the original version.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - kids still get over it unless they have co morbidities.

I sure as hell don’t want my grand kids to get the shot. Most healthy kids to middle aged adult have no problems with the covid virus

My son and daughter-in-law have decided no to the Covid vaccines. I support their decision 100%. I won't take another mRNA vaccine.

They said Moderna’s version was a whopping 38% effective in that age group. I am pro vaccine, getting my next booster when I can. But no way I would get one of my kids that shot with that rate. We went from this will keep you from getting COVID to get it anyway. Starting to sound like “Use Mondo, it has electrolytes”
