Texas health officials are preparing to administer the COVID vaccine to children ages five-to-eleven. The Department of State Health Services says Texas has already pre-ordered more than 700,000 doses of the Pfizer shot ahead of expected approval by the FDA and CDC. According to KVUE, 134 counties will not receive a shipment of doses because they have yet to place an order for the pediatric vaccine. DSHS plans to ship out the shots within days of authorization.
