County health officials noted that young children are considered at lower risk of becoming severely ill or dying from COVID, but they said the risk is higher among unvaccinated children. They also contend that unvaccinated children are at higher risk of developing Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children, or MIS-C.
According to the county, over the past three months, unvaccinated children aged 12-17 were nearly four times more likely to be hospitalized with COVID than vaccinated children. Among vaccine-eligible children in the county who contracted confirmed cases of MIS-C, 65% were unvaccinated, officials said.
According to the county Department of Public Health, shipping issues were causing the delay, with more widespread availability anticipated by Wednesday. Ultimately, the county anticipates the shots being available at more than 900 vaccination sites. Information on locations and scheduling appointments is available online at vaccinatelacounty.com, or in Spanish, vacunatelosangeles.com.
The county on Tuesday reported another 2,294 COVID infections, raising the overall total from throughout the pandemic to 3,071,314. Health officials noted that while the daily number of cases appears to be stabilizing from increases over the past several weeks, overall transmission of the virus remains high.
