Some vaccine providers are already offering pediatric vaccine appointments, such as Tarrytown Pharmacy, ahead of the arrival of shipments. Austin Public Health has said it will set up four different vaccine locations by Nov. 8 and host a school vaccine pop-up on Nov. 15.

COVID vaccine providers were able to request pediatric vaccines, which should not be confused with the already-available 12 and older version.

This version, being identified as the orange cap bottles, one-third of the dosage of the current vaccine. The FDA reports it is 90% effective. It will also be given in two doses, 21 days apart. Side effects can include pain at the injection site, fatigue and headaches.

The Texas Department of State Health Services says the distribution of this vaccine is a big factor in reducing the virality of COVID-19 in the community.

"Vaccinating children between the ages of 5 and 11 helps to protect all Texans from COVID-19," said Dr. John Hellerstedt, DSHS commissioner.
