Florida was the only state in the U.S. that didn't preorder any COVID-19 vaccines for young children, federal officials said.
June 16, 2022, 4:31 PMDr. Mayank Amin puts a band-aid on 5-year-old Lydia Jones after receiving a Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 booster vaccine at Skippack Pharmacy in Schwenksville, Penn., May 19, 2022.Florida was the only state in the U.S. that didn't preorder any COVID-19 vaccines for young children, federal officials said Thursday.
"Already the rates were low. So, we're kind of scraping at the bottom of the barrel particularly with healthy kids, in terms of actually being able to quantify with any accuracy and any confidence, the infinite potential of benefit," Ladapo said at the time. Doctors will be able to order vaccines as they are needed, the department said. However, the representative noted that there are currently no orders in the Department’s ordering system for the COVID-19 vaccine for these young kids.On Thursday, the White House quickly pushed back on Florida's decision not to order any shots for young children.
With Florida not preordering vaccines, it will make it more difficult for parents to get a hold of vaccines for their young children, Jean-Pierre added. Issues of equity may also be exacerbated, as some lower-income families may have a harder gaining access to the shots, Brownstein said.
