A nurse administers a pediatric dose of the Covid-19 vaccine to a child at a L.A. Care Health Plan vaccination clinic at Los Angeles Mission College in the Sylmar neighborhood in Los Angeles, Jan. 19, 2022.The White House is expecting vaccinations for kids under 5 to begin as soon as June 21, White House COVID coordinator Ashish Jha said on Thursday.
If and when vaccines are authorized and recommended, Jha said he expects appointments to be widely available within weeks. First, the FDA's panel of advisers will meet on June 15 to review the data on kids' vaccines from both Moderna and Pfizer. Moderna's shot is two doses, while Pfizer's is three. The CDC's advisory panel meets and then CDC Director Rochelle Walensky issues a recommendation, which is the final step before shots can go in arms. The CDC is expected to announce the dates for its review shortly.
Jha said he expects the majority of vaccinations to be administered in doctors' offices rather than pharmacies, and he acknowledged there will likely be less demand in this age group.
