With the recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s approval of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine for 5- to 11-year-old children, Los Angeles Unified School District will offer voluntary vaccine access to students in the age group.

The COVID-19 vaccine is highly-encouraged for children ages 5-11. However, it will not be part of Los Angeles Unified’s current student vaccine requirement.

Beginning Nov. 8, LAUSD’s mobile vaccination teams will offer the vaccine to students in the age group. Beginning Nov. 16, 13 school-based clinics will offer the vaccine. Certain school-based clinics will offer the vaccine on select Saturdays.  Information about the clinics is available at achieve.lausd.net/studentvaccine.
