California Plans To Vaccinate Kids 5-11 Years Old Against Coronavirus As Soon As The following Week

 

California officials today announced plans to vaccinate 3.5 million kids ages 5-11 against Coronavirus as soon as the following week. The state's overseer of Health and Human Services Dr. Mark Ghaly said at a news gathering that the state expects to have 1.2 million doses on hand as it begins to inoculate pre-teens.

That rollout will rely upon a couple of factors, nonetheless.

A specialist council at the Food and Medication Administration on Tuesday suggested the authorization of Pfizer-BioNTech's vaccine for 5-to-11-year-olds. That advice presently goes to FDA leadership which — in case past is preamble — reasonable will agree in the following not many days and its own recommendation to the Centers for Disease Control and Counteraction for final approval. That process probably will take just under seven days.
