Shots for tots: COVID vaccinations start for little US kids
Little Fletcher Pack woke up Monday morning and asked: 鈥淚s today vaccine day?鈥
For the 3-year-old from Lexington, South Carolina, the answer was yes.
The nation鈥檚 infants, toddlers and preschoolers are finally getting their chance at COVID-19 vaccination as the U.S. rolls out shots for tots this week. Shipments arrived in some locations over the weekend and some spots, including a Walgreens in South Carolina and another in New York City, opened up appointments for Monday.
Fletcher鈥檚 mother said that once her son is fully vaccinated, he can finally go bowling and visit the nearby children鈥檚 museum.
