RICHMOND, VA: "Providers across Virginia are expected to start offering COVID-19 booster shots for 5- to 11-year-olds for the first time on Friday after the federal government finalized the new recommendation late Thursday. State Vaccination Coordinator Christy Gray said, heading into summer travel, itโs another tool to protect kids. Gray said, while kids tend to have more minor reactions than adults, they can be hospitalized and suffer long-term side effects from an infection. She said the state has no plans to reopen mass vaccination sites, though communities may be holding their own events, and school-based clinics will be a local decision."
