Ron DeSantis is now allowing healthcare providers \u2014 including pediatricians and children\u2019s hospitals \u2014 to order COVID-19 vaccines from a federal program for children between six months and 5 years old, a reversal from earlier this week when providers were prevented from preordering doses, White House officials told McClatchy,\u201d the outlet reported.<\/p>\n<p>McClatchy also quoted White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre for the piece: \u201cWe are encouraged that after repeated failures by Governor DeSantis to order COVID-19 vaccines even after every other state had ordered, the State of Florida is now permitting healthcare providers to order COVID-19 vaccines for our youngest children. We believe it is critical to allow parents everywhere to have the choice to get their kids vaccinated and have a conversation with their pediatrician or healthcare provider.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jean-Pierre went on to say that the White House would do its best to ensure that Florida had enough pediatric doses \u2014 and called on officials to order more for the state and local health departments.<\/p>\n<p>But Pushaw rebutted those claims, saying that\u00a0Florida had never changed course. She said that state officials had decided not to order vaccine doses for young children \u2014 and they stood by that decision \u2014 but that individuals and private health care providers had never been denied the ability to order vaccine doses if they chose to do so.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe White House @PressSec\u00a0&#038; @McClatchyDC\u00a0are both spreading disinformation. NOTHING has \u2018reversed\u2019 or changed. The State of Florida is not placing any orders of COVID shots for 0-5 year old babies &#038; kids,\u201d Pushaw began.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat they have couched as a reversal is actually the Governor\u2019s steadfast position that the State of Florida does not recommend nor distribute shots for babies. Any healthcare provider that wants the vaccines can obtain them and any parent who wants it for their child can get it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">What they have couched as a reversal is actually the Governor\u2019s steadfast position that the State of Florida does not recommend nor distribute shots for babies.

The only thing that\u2019s changed was the federal government (FDA) issued the EUA for the shots today,\u201d she <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChristinaPushaw\/status\/1537877860676866050\">said<\/a>. \u201cObviously, there must be FDA approval or an EUA for the system to process orders from healthcare providers.
