SSM Health doctors in Fond du Lac County could begin offering Pfizer COVID-19 shots for kids ages 5-11 as early as Thursday. The vaccine for young kids got the final okay late Tuesday. Vice President of Pharmacy Services with SSM Health Wisconsin Region Mo Kharbat says there is enough vaccine to protect the nation’s 28 million kids ages 5-11. Kharbat says the vaccine was distributed to area doctor’s offices this week and should be ready as early as Thursday. Kharbat says the vaccine is one-third the dose for teens and adults and requires two shots three weeks apart. Children who get vaccinated before Thanksgiving will be fully covered by Christmas.
