LOS ANGELES—Los Angeles County will begin offering pediatric doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to kids aged 5-11 on Nov. 3, one day after the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) gave final approval of the shots.

The county received its first shipment of the vaccines on Tuesday, and county officials will gather at a park in East Los Angeles late this afternoon to mark the beginning of the vaccination effort for young children.
