The United States' Covid-19 vaccination program for children ages 5 to 11 will "running at full strength" next week, White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator Jeff Zients said during a virtual White House briefing Monday.
"While vaccinations may start later this week, the program will still be ramping up to its full strength, with millions more doses packed, shipped and delivered and thousands of additional sites coming online each day," Zients said, noting that 15 million child-sized doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus vaccine already are being moved from Pfizer's freezers and facilities to distribution centers.
President Joe Biden has given permission to Ukraine to strike inside Russian territory with American munitions, though he has restricted their use so Kyiv can only hit targets over the border close to Kharkiv after Russia made significant advances around the city in the northeastern part of the country close to the Russian border, two US officials told CNN.
