Weeks into the Covid booster rollout, parents of young children say the shots are scarce

Since the rollout of Covid booster shots for young children began in the spring of 2021, parents have reported difficulty in accessing the vaccines for their children. This is due to the limited doses available, which has meant that vaccine supply lags behind demand in some regions. Additionally, many pediatricians do not carry the Covid vaccine due to limited access to orders for the vaccine or because their office does not provide vaccinations. Additionally, there is limited availability of pharmacies that carry the vaccine in some areas. As a result, parents have had to look for alternative methods, such as traveling long distances, to find a provider that can administer the vaccine.
