Now that COVID vaccines are authorized for younger kids, you might be wondering, how many kids have gotten a COVID vaccine?
Probably more than you think!
How Many Kids Have Gotten a COVID Vaccine?
That’s right!
Over 6 million children under age 12 years have already gotten a dose of COVID vaccine.
And just over 3.7 million are already fully vaccinated!
That’s not bad considering a COVID vaccine for this age group was only just authorized on November 2. And there is a minimum three week interval between doses!
How Many Teens Have Gotten a COVID Vaccine?
What else do you notice in these COVID vaccine statistics?
Yes, it is going to take a little time to get younger kids a COVID vaccine, but did you know that over 55% of older kids are already fully vaccinated and protected?
And vaccination rates are much, much higher in some communities.
In Marin County, California, for instance, over 91% of teens are vaccinated!
