Abstract

We analyzed first-dose coronavirus disease vaccination coverage among US children 5-11 years of age during November-December 2021. Pediatric vaccination coverage varied widely by jurisdiction, age group, and race/ethnicity, and lagged behind vaccination coverage for adolescents aged 12-15 years during the first 2 months of vaccine rollout.

Keywords: BNT162 vaccine; COVID-19; SARS; SARS-CoV-2; United States; coronavirus; coronavirus disease; disparities; respiratory infections; severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2; vaccination coverages; vaccines; viruses; zoonoses.
