OCHCA Prepares Children’s COVID Vaccine

An average of 201 cases was reported for the seven-day period ended Nov. 4, according to Orange County Health Care Agency Data.

That’s down about 26% from the previous weekly average.

The OCHCA also announced Nov. 3 it is preparing to roll out Pfizer vaccines for Orange County’s children ages 5 to 11.

The announcement came after the Western States Scientific Safety Review and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) approved the use of a pediatric vaccine.

According to the FDA, clinical trials demonstrated the vaccine to be 90.7% effective at preventing symptoms of COVID-19 among children in this age group.
