With COVID-19 vaccines now available for children as young as 6 months old, leaders in Dallas and Tarrant counties are encouraging parents to get their children their first doses.
The White House rolled out about 10 million child-size doses of Moderna and Pfizer's shots for kids 6 months through 5 years old.
"Pfizer is a three-dose series. Moderna is a two-dose series," explained Tarrant County Public Health Director Vinny Taneja. "There’s a little bit of a difference in the dosage itself. But in essence, it is the same vaccine we’ve all using it’s just a lower dose." Locations and information about pop-up clinics and the county’s vax-mobile will be made known beginning Wednesday.
The JPS hospital system is also providing an update. Its website says vaccines for patients 6 months and older, including children of JPS employees are available by appointment only at JPS primary care clinics.
