Shipments of COVID-19 vaccine for kids are already beginning to arrive in the Bay Area after the CDC authorized the shot for children five and younger over the weekend. Santa Clara County was among the first in the Bay Area to receive its shipments, and officials say the health department plans to begin administering shots on Tuesday.

The Pfizer vaccine for children is being offered in three shots, and Moderna is being administered in two shots. In terms of which one to pick, Dr. Burns says that in studies, both vaccines have proven to be safe and equally effective at preventing severe COVID-19 in kids. For parents who remain ambivalent about the shot, Dr. Burns says they should turn to their pediatrician.
As summer approaches, health experts say the COVID-19 vaccines will also allow families with younger kids to finally experience a sense of normalcy."That means an opportunity to take that summer vacation, send your kid off to summer camp, send them to a birthday party, get ready for school, things that I know many of us have done with a bit of trepidation over the last couple of years," said Dr. Mark Ghaly, California Health and Human Services Secretary.
