Biden Pushing Vaccines For Small Kids: ‘Families Will Be Able To Sleep Easier At Night Knowing Their Kids Are Protected’

Speaking on Thursday, President Biden pushed forward in his drive to vaccinate children ages five through eleven with the COVID-19 vaccine, despite polls showing that nearly half of American parents oppose the idea.

Biden boasted, “Families will be able to sleep easier at night knowing their kids are protected.”

Biden stated:

Now I know parents out there are anxiously waiting for a vaccine for children ages five to eleven. The good news is the FDA and outside experts from the CDC are set to make this determination as to whether the vaccine will be authorized for that age range in the next few weeks.

If authorized, we are ready. We have purchased enough vaccines for all children, between the ages of 5 and 11, in the United States. It will be convenient for parents to get their children vaccinated at trusted locations, and families will be able to sleep easier at night knowing their kids are protected.

A CBS News/YouGov poll conducted between October 6-8 found that 61% of parents who were unvaccinated were against vaccinating their children ages 5-11, while precisely the opposite held for vaccinated parents, 61% of whom would vaccinate their children in that age group. – READ MORE
