About 300,000 children under 5 have received at least one Covid-19 shot, White House says

Approximately 300,000 children under the age of 5 in the US — about 2% of that age group — have received at least one shot of the Covid-19 vaccine since it was recommended by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last month, a senior White House official told CNN Thursday, a number the official says aligns with expectations, though is lower than other age groups.
