Shipments arrived in some locations over the weekend and some spots, including a Walgreens in South Carolina and another in New York City, opened up <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ointments for Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Fletcher&#8217;s mother said that once her son is fully vaccinated, he can finally go bowling and visit the nearby children&#8217;s museum.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s never really played with another kid inside before,&#8221; McKenzie Pack said. &#8220;This will be a really big change for our family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She began seeking an appointment last week as U.S. regulators took steps to OK the vaccines for kids 6 months to 5 years old.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s just relief,&#8221; said Pack. &#8220;With this vaccine, that&#8217;ll be his best shot at going back to normal and having a normal childhood.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Food and Drug Administration greenlighted the Moderna and Pfizer kid shot s on Friday and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended them Saturday. In the U.S., COVID-19 vaccines were first tested and given in late 2020 to health care workers and older adults. Teens and school-age kids were added last year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is certainly an exciting moment in what has become a very long campaign to vaccinate people against COVID-19,&#8221;said Dr. Matthew Harris, an emergency room pediatrician at Northwell Cohen Children&#8217;s Medical Center in New York.<\/p>\n<p>Many parents have been anxiously awaiting the rollout, and Harris said shots for his own 9-month-old are a &#8220;matter of when, not if.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Roughly 18 million youngsters under 5 are eligible.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s just a huge step toward normalcy,&#8221; said Dr. Debra Langlois, pediatrician at University of Michigan Health C.S. Mott Children&#8217;s Hospital.<br \/>\n                                            <!-- Google middle Adsense block --><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re two-plus years into this pandemic and there&#8217;s things that my 4-year-old has never been able to do,&#8221; Langlois said.<\/p>\n<p>The family skipped a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> to Disneyland and a popular Michigan vacation island because the ferry ride to Mackinac Island would mean mingling with unmasked passengers.<\/p>\n<p>President Joe Biden, public health authorities and pediatricians hailed the moment. But they also acknowledged that getting some parents on board may be a challenge given disappointing vaccination rates\u2014about 30%\u2014in school-age kids.<\/p>\n<p>The American Academy of Pediatrics and American Medical Association were among physician groups that encouraged doctors and families to get young children vaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s Pfizer&#8217;s three-shot <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> or Moderna&#8217;s two shots.<\/p>\n<p>In New York&#8217;s largely Latino neighborhood of Washington Heights, Dr. Juan Tapia Mendoza&#8217;s clinic has ordered 300 doses of the tot-sized vaccines. He said he needs educational materials that directly address misinformation spreading among parents.<\/p>\n<p>His approach will be to tell parents &#8220;if they were my kids, I would vaccinate them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Because the virus is still around. A lot of people are still dying because of coronavirus Kids do get infected and some kids get severely affected and nobody wants to see a child very sick.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Some hospitals planned vaccination events later this week. Chicago is among locations that offer COVID-19 shots in people&#8217;s homes and planned to open registration this week for home appointments for infants and other young children, said Maribel Chavez-Torres, a deputy commission for the city&#8217;s Department of Public Health.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Pam Zeitland, director of pediatric medicine at National Jewish Health in Denver, recommends parents get their kids vaccinated as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Some parents are afraid that the younger the child, the more vulnerable they might be to vaccine side effects,&#8221; Zeitland said, but that&#8217;s not what Pfizer and Moderna studies found. Side effects were similar to what is seen with other childhood vaccines\u2014fever, irritability and fatigue.\n                                                                                                                        <\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__explore my-4 d-print-none\">\n<p>                                                                                        US opens COVID vaccine to little kids; shots begin this week\n                                                                                    <\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"mb-4\"\/>\n<p class=\"article-main__note mt-4\">\n                                                \u00a9 2022 The Associated Press.
