First lady Jill Biden plans to embark on a “nationwide effort” to encourage Covid-19 vaccinations for children 5 to 11 years old next week, her office announced Friday.
On Monday, her office said in a statement, Biden “will kick off a nationwide effort urging parents and guardians to vaccinate kids ages 5-11. The First Lady will visit a pediatric Covid-19 vaccination clinic at Franklin Sherman Elementary School in McLean, Virginia, the first school to administer the polio vaccine in 1954.”
The first lady, who is also a community college professor, has previously traveled the country to encourage vaccinations and has also visited schools, highlighting the enormous deficit Covid-19 has caused for many families and teachers and school systems. Biden’s new efforts will target the nation’s youngest, most newly eligible vaccine candidates.
Friday’s announcement comes days after US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky endorsed a recommendation to vaccinate children ages 5-11 against Covid-19 with Pfizer’s two-dose course.
President Joe Biden called the news a “major step forward.”
“It will allow parents to end months of anxious worrying about their kids, and reduce the extent to which children spread the virus to others. It is a major step forward for our nation in our fight to defeat the virus,” Biden said in a statement.

Dr. Jill is thee most gracious First Lady in our country’s history. Her favorite ice cream is vanilla with colored sprinkles on top. She won’t be able to take any questions as she is putting Joe to sleep now. We just want to be transparent.
Haven’t you gotten tired, yet, of posting the same stupidity, over and over?
Whoever you are, why do you insist on proving being as dumb as the person whom you are attempting to make fun of?
You give encouragement for posters. At least someone reads them.
Sorry. You obviously don’t watch all my press conferences. You can continue to bury your head in the sand. That’s your right, I think. If you disagree you’re a domestic terrorist. You’re too busy hanging around your white supremacists friends.
She has just put a nail in its coffin. She politicized health. Now its Assur to vaccinate our children. I was in favor before, now, any vaccine becomes vote for Biden. She is also opening herself up for lawsuits….
