Washington: More than 900,000 US children aged 5-11 are expected to have received their first Covid-19 vaccine shots at the end of Wednesday, the Coordinator of the White House Covid-19 Jeff Zients said, when the government increased vaccination of younger children.
The United States on Wednesday began providing the Pfizer / 19-19 bionech vaccine to children aged 5 to 11 years, the latest groups that qualified for shooting that provided protection against diseases and the people around them.
“While our program is fully up and running this week, at the end of today, we estimate that more than 900,000 children aged five to 11 will get their first chance,” Zients said during a briefing with reporters.
That number comes from the analysis of white houses from available data from pharmaceutical partners, several states, and regions, Zias said, adding the CDC has not collected full calculations.
Covdi-19 is a killer of children who can prevent the largest vaccine in the age group, with 66 children dying from him for the past year, US centers for disease control and prevention director Dr.
Rochelle Walensky said to the same briefing.
On average seven days of the total Covid-19 case in the US flat around 73,300 over the past week, he said, with the level of hospitalization was also flat at 5,000 a day.
On average seven days of daily death fell 11% to around 1,000 per day.
