The White House COVID-19 task force provided an update on Wednesday as the first vaccine doses were administered for children aged five to 11 after CDC approval on Tuesday.

White House COVID-19 response coordinator Jeff Zients said Wednesday that the vaccines for kids is a "landmark moment in our vaccination campaign. The first mother to get her child vaccinated last night captured it well: 'It's a sigh of relief."

According to the trials, Pfizer’s pediatric shots were nearly 91 per cent effective in preventing COVID-19 among children aged 5-11 years. The side effects were mild and similar to those seen in adults and with other vaccines recommended for children, the CDC said. The most common side effect was a sore arm.
