(Shawn Rocco/Duke University via Reuters) LOS ANGELES— Los Angeles County will begin offering pediatric doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to kids aged 5-11 on Nov. 3, one day after the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) gave final approval of the shots.
The county received its first shipment of the vaccines on Tuesday, and county officials will gather at a park in East Los Angeles late this afternoon to mark the beginning of the vaccination effort for young children.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the pediatric shots last week, and a CDC advisory committee OK’d them Tuesday morning.
CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky gave final approval Tuesday afternoon, making the shots immediately available to those age 5-11.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
