With this recent authorization from F.D.A. and recommendation from C.D.C., nearly 20 million children are now able to get vaccinated against Covid-19. I know many parents with very young children have been anticipating this day. We now know, based on rigorous scientific review, that the vaccines available here in the United States can be used safely and effectively in children under 5. Vaccinating young children is a critical opportunity to protect them against hospitalization and death from Covid-19. Parents, I strongly encourage you to get your children vaccinated. If you have questions, talk to your child’s provider to learn more about the benefits of this vaccine. We have taken another important step together in our fight against Covid-19 by making safe and effective vaccines available for our little ones. I hope all parents will take advantage of these life-saving vaccines and protect their children.
