US Pediatricians, children’s hospitals and pharmacies across the U.S. will begin administering COVID-19 vaccines today to kids between 6 months and 5 years old, after the FDA and CDC authorized the jabs last week for the country’s youngest children under emergency approval.

Only 18% of parents say they will vaccinate their kids in the age group as soon as possible, according to recent poll from the Kaiser Family Foundation, due to the lack of “enough information about the vaccines’ safety and effectiveness."

A similar dynamic played out after the shots opened to children aged 5 to 11 last November, with less than a third of that demographic getting vaccinated (compared to the 75% fully vaccinated U.S. population over the age of 12).

美國各地的兒科醫生，兒童醫院和藥房將於今天開始對6個月至5歲的兒童接種COVID-19疫苗，此前FDA和CDC上周批准了該國最年幼的兒童的疫苗接種。

根據凱撒家庭基金會（Kaiser Family Foundation）最近的民意調查，只有18%的父母表示，由於缺乏“關於疫苗安全性和有效性的足夠資訊”，他們將儘快為該年齡組的孩子接種疫苗。

去年11月，在向5至11歲的兒童開放疫苗后，類似的動態也出現了，只有不到三分之一的人口接種了疫苗（相比之下，12歲以上的美國人口中有75%的人完全接種疫苗）。
