At present, COVID-19 vaccines have been approved for use in people aged 12 and over in the United States, but 28 million elementary school students in the 5-11 age group are still waiting for the approval of Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA vaccine.
On October 18, 2021, the American Children’s Association (AAP) updated the status of COVID-19 infection in children in the United States. In the past week, the United States has added more than 130,000 new cases of COVID-19 in children, accounting for all new cases each week. An increase of 25.5% of cases.
As a result, by October 15, 2021, the number of COVID-19 cases among children in the United States has reached 6.17 million, accounting for 16.4% of all cases and 8.2% of all American children!
At a media conference today (October 20), the Biden administration stated that for 5-11 year-old vaccination, the vaccine has been prepared and is only awaiting approval.

Once both FDA and CDC approve, vaccination can be implemented immediately.
In response, Jeff Zients, the White House COVID-19 response coordinator, said: We have already begun work to deploy vaccination.
For specific vaccination plans, it will be widely deployed, including pediatrician outpatient clinics, other family doctor places, more than 100 children’s hospitals, tens of thousands of pharmacies, and community clinics.
