7. COVID-19 Counts in Culver City and LA County

Since March 2020, nearly 81,000 children 5 to 11 years old have tested positive for COVID-19 in Los Angeles County and nearly 400 children 5 to 11 were hospitalized.  Of the 996 new cases reported today, 140 were among children between the ages of 5 to 11 years old. 

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (Public Health) encourages parents to protect their children and prevent transmission of COVID-19 by getting everyone in their family vaccinated who is eligible. Now that Los Angeles County vaccine providers are administering Pfizer vaccine to children 5 to 11 years old, anyone five years and older living or working in LA County can get vaccinated.  

Similar to making a COVID-19 vaccine appointment for adults and teens, parents can make an appointment for their children by using California’s My Turn website or the Vaccinate LA County website Also on the Public Health website, is a list and a map that allows people to click to find a pediatric vaccination site near them.  

For more information, review the following Public Health COVID-19 resources:   

• Vaccines: What Parents Need to Know   
• COVID-19 Vaccines for Youth: Frequently Asked Questions for Parents & Guardians  

Vaccinations are always free and open to eligible residents and workers regardless of immigration status. Appointments are not needed at all Public Health vaccination sites where first, second, and third doses are available. 

Vaccine providers across Los Angeles County are currently administering boosters for all three FDA-approved vaccines; Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson. People eligible for boosters include adults of any age who received their first Johnson & Johnson dose at least two months ago, and people who got the second dose of their Pfizer or Moderna vaccines at least six months ago and are 65-plus years old or are over 18 and live in long-term care settings, have underlying medical conditions, or work or live in high-risk settings. 

To find a vaccination site near you, make an appointment at vaccination sites, and much more, visit the Vaccinate LA County website. If you don’t have internet access, can’t use a computer, or you’re over 65, you can call 1-833-540-0473 for help finding an appointment, connecting to free transportation to and from a vaccination site, or scheduling a home-visit if you are homebound.
