Chinese state media showed up at a Los Angeles high school on Monday to capture and disseminate images of students getting immunized against COVID-19.

China’s official news agency Xinhua took pictures of several children getting shots at Woodrow Wilson High School during the launch of the Los Angeles Unified School District’s first mobile vaccination clinic. Officials say teams will eventually visit every middle and high school campus in the district to offer first and second Pfizer doses to eligible students and employees. Children ages 12 to 15 must have an adult present, while 16- and 17-year-olds need a signed consent form. More than 600,000 pupils are enrolled in LAUSD, the second-largest public education system in America.
