is the only state in America that has not pre-ordered shots of vaccines for children aged six months old to five in the wake of the jabs receiving recommendation from a panel of advisors - sticking by its recommendation issued earlier this year for children not to get the shots.The reports that the state missed a Tuesday filing deadline to request the shots be delivered into to roll them out starting June 21. In every other state, the jabs will be distributed to vaccine providers, pharmacies and pediatric clinics starting next week.It comes after state health officials said in March that children and teens in the state do not need to get vaccinated because of the comparatively limited risk they face from Covid when compared to adults. According to most recent official data, children make up around 0.1 percent of U.S. deaths from the virus.
