Parents who want to get their children vaccinated were asked to fill out a registration form no later than Nov. 11.

“We expect a limited number of vaccine appointments. We will allocate vaccine appointments on a first come first serve basis,” Valeski said.

It’s not clear how many parents or guardians registered their child for the vaccine, but currently, the vaccine supply is limited nationwide.
