(St. Paul, MN) -- Sites across Minnesota are set to begin vaccinating children six-months-old to five-years-old following approval by the CDC and the FDA.

The FDA gave the green light to the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines for that age group. The CDC followed with its approval on Saturday.

A network of over 400 locations is being set up across Minnesota, aimed at offering the vaccines to children.
