DETROIT LAKES (KDLM) – Sanford Health and Essentia Health will start offering the COVID-19 vaccine for children 5-11 years-old this week.
Tuesday, the CDC authorized the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for 5-11-year-olds. Both health organizations say they have the vaccine on-hand parents can begin scheduling vaccine appointments for their children.
Not all health care providers are recommending the vaccine for children, however. Data regarding COVID’s impact on the young is somewhat messy; healthy people under 18 have generally not suffered major covid effects, and children are generally not infecting older, vulnerable adults according to research from the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.
