Al4 THE BULLETIN - THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2021 Kids aged 5 to 11 will soon be able to get a COVID-19 shot BY ZEKE MILLER AND LINDSEYTANNER Associated Press WASHINGTON - Chil dren ages 5 to 11 will soon be able to get a COVID-19 shot at their pediatricians office, local pharmacy and potentially even their school, the White House said Wednesday as it detailed plans for the expected authori zation of the Pfizer shot for el ementary school youngsters in a matter of weeks. Federal regulators will meet over the next two weeks to weigh the safety and effective ness of giving low-dose shots to the roughly 28 million chil dren in that age group. Within hours of formal ap proval, which is expected after the Food and Drug Admin istration signs off and a Cen ters for Disease Control and Prevention advisory panel meets on Nov. 2-3, millions of doses will begin going out to providers across the country, along with the smaller needles needed for injecting young children. Within days of that, the vac cine will be ready to go into arms on a wide scale. “Were completing the op erational planning to ensure vaccinations for kids ages 5 to 11 are available, easy and Deschutes Continued from A1 “We have all seen the global pandemic significantly reduce traffic in all restaurants, pubs, and tasting rooms.The Roa noke tasting room is no excep tion,” LaLonde said on a call with reporters. The Deschutes Brewery Tasting Room, opened in 2017, was located in a 4,700-foot- space in downtown Roanoke, a city with a population simi lar to Bend. The locally popu lar pub had more than 15 taps of Deschutes beer, along with growlers and brewery mer chandise. But the company experi enced “significant financial loss” during the pandemic at the Roanoke location, more than its other locations, said Peter Skrbek, the compa ny’s chief financial officer. Skrbek said traffic and vis itation during the height of COVID-19 concerns at the Ro anoke location were just 30% of normal. Deschutes Brewery said it will continue to participate in community events in Roa noke with its local partner Blue Ridge Beverage. Deschutes said it will also work with current employees in Roanoke to try to find different jobs within Deschutes Brewery or with another company. Eight em ployees are affected by the tap room’s closure. “This is not a goodbye from Deschutes to Roanoke at all. We have made a decision to adapt to the current business situation and make the best de cision for our company” said LaLonde. In addition to the tasting room, the company had plans to open up a $95 million pro duction facility that would employ 100 workers on a 49- acre site in Roanoke. Market challenges and competition forced Deschutes to push back its plans several times but the project never moved forward. LaLonde said the company will hold on to the land it pur chased in Roanoke so it can have the option to build an East Coast facility in the future. “We are not saying never.We want to hold on to (the land) because we think it’s a great opportunity in the future and it makes a whole lot of sense at some point,” said LaLonde. For now, LaLonde said there is no need for another facility because production in Bend is running at just 70% of capacity. “Roanoke is a great trans portation hub. It makes sense to be a hub in the East Coast, but it will be a while before we will even do that,” said LaLonde. Deschutes Brewery main tains its full-service pub loca tions in Bend and Portland. ■ Reporter: 541-617-7818, mkohn@bendbulletin.com convenient,” White House COVID-19 coordinator Jeff Zients said. “Were going to be ready, pending the FDA and CDC decision.” The Pfizer vaccine requires two doses three weeks apart and a two-week wait for full protection to kick in, meaning the first youngsters in line will be fully covered by Christmas. Some parents can hardly wait. Dr. Sterling Ransone said his rural Deltaville, Virginia, office is already getting calls from people asking for ap pointments for their children and saying, “I want my shot now.” “Judging by the number of calls, I think we’re going to be slammed for the first several weeks,” said Ransone, presi dent of the American Acad emy of Family Physicians. Justin Shady, a film and TV writer in Chicago, said his 6-year-old daughter, Grey, got nervous when he told her she would be getting the shots soon. But he is bribing her with a trip to Disney World, and “she’s all in.” The family likes to travel. “We really just want to get back in the swing of seeing the world,” Shady said. As for youngsters under 5, c Pfizer and Moderna are study ing their vaccines in children down to 6 months old, with re sults expected later in the year. The Biden administration noted that the expansion of shots to children under 12 will not look like the start of the country’s vaccine rollout 10 months ago, when limited doses and inadequate capacity meant a painstaking wait for many Americans. The country now has am ple supplies of the Pfizer shot to vaccinate the children who will soon be eligible, officials said, and they have been work ing for months to ensure wide spread availability of shots. About 15 million doses will be shipped to providers across the U.S. in the first week after ap proval, the White House said. More than 25,000 pediatri cians and primary care pro viders have already signed on to dispense the vaccine to ele mentary school children, the White House said, in addition to the tens of thousands of drugstores that are already ad ministering shots to adults. Hundreds of school- and community-based clinics will also be funded and supported by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to help speed the process. $ 29.95 reg. $44.95 plus shipping Books ship Nov. 26, in time for holiday gift-giving!
