With Wednesday’s approval, the county can start vaccinating kids as early as this week. Work is already being done to set up youth-specific vaccine clinics.
“This is a much smaller population and we’ve got a much bigger amount of vaccine this time around, and so we do not expect to have to pick and choose who will get the vaccine this time around," Dr. Earl Stoddard from the Montgomery County Department of Human Services said.
Some parents jumped the gun and brought their children to get their first dose of the Pfizer vaccine Wednesday only to be turned away.
