The CDC has cleared the pediatric vaccine for children ages five to eleven in Massachusetts. Parents can now make appointments to vaccinate their children from COVID-19 with the pediatric vaccine, which is 1/3 of the adult dose and is given in two shots, three weeks apart. 

Phoebe Chen spoke to a pharmacy representative who said immunization appointments are quickly booking up.
