As of Nov. 10, nearly one million kids between the ages of 5 and 11 had received the first doses of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine.

The children of Johns Hopkins University researchers, epidemiologists, and clinicians were among the first in line alongside their jubilant parents, who have spent the past 20 months working behind the scenes on pandemic-related science or on the front lines of patient care.

Many of the JHU parents took to Twitter to share their excitement, relief, and jumps for joy as their kids rolled up their sleeves for the long-awaited shot.
