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

“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.

tains its full-service pub loca
tions in Bend and Portland.

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.
