Some areas across the country have faced delays in the initial rollout of the pediatric COVID vaccine, and parents have reported staying up until the early morning to book an appointment online.
Nov. 8, 2021 -- Once the CDC cleared the pediatric COVID-19 vaccine for ages 5-11 this week, local health departments, pharmacies and doctor’s offices began setting up appointments and vaccine clinics for parents to bring their children to get a shot.
“More and more sites are coming online,” Jeff Zients, the White House COVID-19 response coordinator, said“Packing and shipping will continue over the weekend and into next week, with doses arriving at thousands of vaccination sites in every state, tribe and territory,” he said. On Vaccines.gov, parents can search for locations within a particular ZIP code and radius. The site displays locations that are open to the public, so some private doctor’s offices may not show up unless they host a vaccine clinic open to the public.
