EDIE: NEARLY ALL AMERICANS ARE NOW ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE THE COVID-19 VACCINE. THIS WEEKEND, OFFICIALS APPROVED THE VACCINE FOR KIDS RANGING IN AGE FROM 6-MONTHS TO FIVE-YEARS-OLD. TY: THOSE VACCINES ARE NOW BEING DELIVERED TO DOCTOR’S OFFICES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE SHOTS WILL LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENT BASED ON WHICH COMPANY PRODUCED IT. THE MODERNA SHOT WOULD BE A TWO-DOSE VACCINE FOR KIDS SIX MONTHS TO FIVE YEARS. THE PFIZER SHOT WOULD BE A THREE-DOSE VACCINE FOR KIDS AGES SIX MONTHS TO FOUR YEARS. PARENTS WE TALKED TO TODAY WERE SPLIT ON WHETHER TO GET THE SHOT FOR THEIR CHILDREN. >> I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT FOR OUR KIDS AND EVERYBODY TO GET VACCINATED IN ORDER TO PROTECT OURSELVES FROM THE CORONAVIRUS AND ALSO TO GET US ALL OUT OF THIS PANDEMIC. >> I JUST WANT TO KEEP MY CHILD IS SAFE AS POSSIBLE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE VACCINE WILL KEEP HER SAFE. EDIE: KCRA 3’S BRITTANY HOPE IS LIVE AT MCKINLEY PARK. BRITTANY, YOU JUST HEARD FROM THE STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, ABOUT WHAT THE VACCINE ROLL-OUT WILL LOOK LIKE IN OUR STATE. WHAT DID YOU LEARN? REPORTER: OFFICIALS TELL ME, CALIFORNIA ORDERED NEARLY 400,000 DOSES OF THIS VACCINE FOR BABIES AND YOUNGER CHILDREN. THEY STARTED BECOMING AVAILABLE TODAY. MORE ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME AVAILABLE IN THE COMING WEEKS. PARENTS IN SACRAMENTO HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS. WE TOOK THOSE QUESTIONS TO EXPERTS. THE FIRST QUESTION. WHICH VACCINE BRAND IS BETTER FOR MY CHILD TO GET, PFIZER OR MODERNA? PFIZER REQUIRES THREE DOSES. THE COMPANY SUGGESTS ITS VACCINE HAS AN 80% EFFICACY RATE. ON THE OTHER HAND, MODERNA IS ONLY TWO SHOTS FOR BABIES AND YOUNG CHILDREN. BUT, IT’S ONLY 40% EFFECTIVE AT PREVENTING INFECTION. HERE’S WHAT DR. MARK VAUGHAN, THE MEDICAL DIRECTOR OF THE AUBURN MEDICAL GROUP, RECOMMENDS. >> I HAVE LIKING TOWARD THE PFIZER BECAUSE OF HAVING THAT THIRD SHOT ALREADY. IF MODERNA WERE TO SAY IT IS TIME TO GO AHEAD AND SAY IT THIS IS A THREE SHOT VACCINE, I WOULD BE MORE COMFORTABLE WITH IT. I EXPECT THAT IS WHAT WE WILL FIND. PRONOUNCEABLE ANCHORAGE PARENTS TO GO WITH THE THREE SHOT PFIZER. REPORTER: ANOTHER COMMON QUESTION FROM FAMILIES CAN MY , CHILD GET THE COVID-19 VACCINE, AT THE SAME, OR CLOSE TO, OTHER VACCINES THEY NEED? >> IT’S THE LIVE VACCINES YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT. THESE DO NOT HAVE THAT PROBLEM. THERE IS NO NEGATIVE FOR IT TO BE PUT WITH OTHER VACCINES. REPORTER: IF MY CHILD TURNS FIVE-YEAR-OLD SOON, SHOULD I GO WITH THE LOWER VICE -- LOWER DOSES OR THOSE FOR FIVE TO 11 YEARS OLD? DR. VON RECOMMENDS THINK WHEREVER YOUR CHILD IS ELIGIBLE FOR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. >> FOR A FIVE-YEAR-OLD YOU WOULD WANT TO GET THE TWO DOSE PFIZER. IF YOU ARE ABOUT TO HAVE YOUR FIFTH BIRTHDAY, YOU COULD GET IT BEFORE YOUR FIFTH BIRTHDAY, YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO GET THE THREE DOSES. IF IT IS AFTER YOUR FIFTH BIRTHDAY, YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO GET THE TWO DOSES. REPORTER: THE STATE TELLS ME THESE VACCINES WILL BE ADMINISTERED AT AROUND 8500 SITES ACROSS THE STATE. SOME OF THOSE INCLUDE THE LARGER HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS, AND SOME SMALLER PRACTICES. CDPH SAYS THEY WILL SPONSOR POP-UP EVENTS, AT EARLY CARE AND EDUCATION SITES, STARTING IN EARLY JULY.
