Regarding vaccines for kiddos 5+:
LAUSD is currently focused on kiddos 12+, because starting in January, all students 12+ must be vaccinated in order to attend school.
This is the language from the LAUSD website:
With the recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s approval of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine for 5- to 11-year-old children, we are delighted to be able to offer voluntary vaccine access to students in this age group. The COVID-19 vaccine is highly encouraged for children ages 5-11. However, it will not be part of Los Angeles Unified’s current student vaccine requirement.
Beginning November 8, our mobile vaccination teams will offer the vaccine to students in this age group.
Starting on November 16, 13 school-based family and wellness centers will offer the vaccine to students 5- to 11-years old. (These wellness centers already offer vaccinations to students 12 and older.) We will also have school-based clinics offering the vaccine on select Saturdays (more info to come). Walk-ins are welcome, and appointments can be made on the Daily Pass.
