The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends children as young as 6-months to receive a COVID-19 vaccine according to recently updated guidance. Nearly 20 million additional children now have access to safe and effective vaccination against COVID-19. As CDC continues to examine the data, COVID-19 vaccines remain the single most important tool to protect children against COVID-19 and severe illnesses.
