WASHINGTON, Nov 10 — More than 900,000 US children aged 5 to 11 are expected to have received their first Covid-19 shot by the end of yesterday, the White House said, as the government ramped up vaccinations of younger children.

Zients last week said that 15 million doses specifically formulated for that age group would be available this week and that the federal government had purchased enough supply for all 28 million eligible children. Walgreens Boots Alliance said in a statement that it has immunised more than 200,000 children against Covid-19 and booked hundreds of thousands of appointments over the next few weeks.

“This is the very beginning ... we expect more and more kids to get vaccinated across time,” he said.
