Children under five years old could begin to receive vaccinations against COVID-19 as early as June 21, a top Biden administration official said Thursday. Dr. Ashish Jha, the White House’s COVID response coordinator, told reporters at a briefing: “We expect that vaccinations will begin in earnest as early as Tuesday, June 21, and really roll on throughout that week,” if the Food and Drug Administration authorizes the vaccines.
