Roughly 18 million youngsters under 5 are eligible for COVID-19 vaccinations, which are being rolled out this week after getting the OK from U.S. regulators.

“He’s never really played with another kid inside before,” McKenzie Pack said. “This will be a really big change for our family.” “This is certainly an exciting moment in what has become a very long campaign to vaccinate people against COVID-19,”said Dr. Matthew Harris, an emergency room pediatrician at Northwell Cohen Children’s Medical Center in New York.
The family skipped a trip to Disneyland and a popular Michigan vacation island because the ferry ride to Mackinac Island would mean mingling with unmasked passengers. The CDC advises vaccination even for those who already had COVID-19 to protect against reinfection, and says it is OK to get other vaccines at the same time. For the littlest kids, there’s Pfizer’s three-shot series or Moderna’s two shots.
