|
Are you an essential worker in need of child care assistance? The Orange County Department of Education may be able to help. OCDE’s Family Support Services team subsidizes child care costs for eligible families using funds allocated through the California Department of Education. Families get to choose their own providers, and OCDE has contracts with day care facilities, center programs, school districts, private homes and other settings throughout the county to make the process pretty seamless.

FDA Authorizes Use Of Pfizer's COVID Vaccine For 5- To 11-Year-Olds |
|
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has authorized a Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 5 to 11. This lower-dose formulation of the companies' adult vaccine was found to be safe and 90.7% effective in preventing COVID-19. The agency acted Friday after a panel of independent scientists advising the FDA strongly supported the authorization Tuesday. The FDA says the EUA is based on a study of approximately 4,700 children ages 5 to 11.
