With significantly more constrained supply, demand for 1st doses was materially higher for every other age group
For instance, 5-11 year olds were up to 15% at about the same period of time after the vaccines were made available to that age group - https://www.kff.org/coronavirus-covid-19/issue-brief/an-update-on-vaccine-roll-out-for-5-11-year-olds-in-the-u-s/ https://www.kff.org/coronavirus-covid-19/issue-brief/an-upda...
15% vs. 2% is a pretty substantial drop in just ~6 months, no?

- camdenreslink 4y agoThis has been my experience as well. We go to a large pediatrician practice and they hadn’t even had a meeting yet to start planning to distribute to under 5 kids when it got approved. They finally just called us to see if we wanted it, but we ended up going to Rite Aid.
