Public health departments across California are gearing up to administer coronavirus vaccines to children ages 5 to 11 in the coming weeks. Officials are planning “family-friendly” events to persuade parents and guardians to get their kids vaccinated.
that California would have the nation’s first coronavirus vaccine mandate for schoolchildren — about 6.7 million public and private school students in the nation’s most populous state — once the federal government has finished fully vetting the shots.
County officials expect to receive about 95,000 first doses of Pfizer by Nov. 1 if the current federal timeline stays the same, according to Barbara Ferrer, the county’s public health director. The county is also working to prepare its existing network of Pfizer providers to be able to administer the shots for kids as soon as possible. In the last five months, the public health department has also worked to add more than 300 pediatricians and pediatric providers to its network in preparation for this vaccine’s approval.
“Our efforts are always to prioritize pediatric clinics and services that are in the hardest-hit communities,” Ferrer said.
