Children under the age of five will be able to receive the Covid-19 vaccine from 21 June if regulators authorise the pediatric vaccines as expected, the White House has announced.
White House Covid-19 Response Coordinator Dr Ashish Jha said during a briefing on Thursday that “we expect that vaccinations will begin in earnest as early as Tuesday, June 21st. Our expectation is that within weeks, every parent who wants their child to get vaccinated will be able to get an appointment”.
