 Massachusetts is now giving out COVID vaccines for 5 to 11-year-old kids after the CDC signed off last Wednesday on November 3rd. Parents can now make appointments to get their kids vaccinated. Well, it kind of felt like a very hard pinch. If the majority of my school gets the vaccine, then we'll get to be inside with our masks off. Some parents are grateful that a Chuzhan shot is finally available. It was such a priority for us to get them vaccinated as soon as possible. My husband and I felt really strongly about vaccinating them as soon as it was available for them. As for parents who are worried, the state's set to talk to their own pediatrician or health care provider. We got the vaccine Friday afternoon, so we started doing immunization appointments today. We have 50 coming in today, and we've pretty much booked up all 300 doses that we got. The Pfizer pediatric vaccine is one dirt of the adult dose, and it is also given in two shots three weeks apart. They've loved that they can just bring their child to the pharmacy, that it's not a pediatrician's office. They don't have to really wait very long. It's more convenient. Parents can use VaxFinderMask.gov to book appointments for their kids at pharmacies or local vaccination sites. Some pediatric offices and hospitals will also be available on the Finder tool.
