About 900,000 children ages 5 to 11 are estimated to have received their first Covid-19 shot within the first week of eligibility, the Biden administration announced Wednesday.
Approximately 700,000 more have appointments to get their first dose, Jeff Zients, the White House Covid-19 response coordinator, said during a press briefing.
The numbers, Zients said, are an estimate based on preliminary data from 20,000 clinics and pharmacies nationwide.
