The White House laid out the federal government’s plans to make the first COVID-19 vaccines available for very young children.
COVID-19 vaccinations for kids younger than 5 could start right after the Juneteenth holiday.
In a White House briefing on Thursday, Dr. Ashish Jha, the White House’s COVID-19 response coordinator, said if the Food and Drug Administration authorizes vaccines for the youngest kids soon after a June 15 advisory meeting, shipments of the first 10 million doses could start arriving at doctors’ offices as soon as the following weekend.
