National Nurses United applauds White House plans to roll out Covid vaccine doses for ages 5 to 11

National Nurses United, the nation’s largest union of registered nurses, applauded yesterday’s announcement by the White House of plans to distribute Covid-19 vaccine doses to 28 million children aged 5 to 11. Nurses emphasize that by securing enough doses for this age group and outlining the logistics of a rollout plan ahead of potential sign-off by federal health officials on a reduced dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, the Biden administration is taking strong action to protect the health of children in the United States.
