FDA Gives Emergency Authorization For Pfizer COVID Shot In Kids 12-15

Now, what do parents need to do?

12-to-15-year-olds are now on the list of those who can get a COVID vaccine. For parents of tweens and teens like Erin Turner, it’s welcome news.  "First, I am really sick of living the way we do. Second, I believe in the science behind it; if it's good enough for me, it's good enough for my children. And third, these children have already lost out on so much." The FDA’s emergency authorization of Pfizer’s MRNA vaccine comes after a study of 2,200 showed it was safe and worked as it did in older people. Doctors say there's no evidence this vaccine will affect development or fertility long-term.
