To fully vaccinate children against Covid-19 by the time school starts, many parents must act now
CNN
While it's a bit of a bummer to think about going back to school before it's even the Fourth of July, in many parts of the country, if you want your child to be immunized against Covid-19 by the time classes start, you need to act fast.
Many large school systems -- including Atlanta, Fort Myers, Florida, Flagstaff, Arizona, and the entire state of Hawaii -- start school in the first two weeks of August. It takes five weeks to be fully vaccinated with Pfizer's vaccine, the only one authorized for adolescents ages 12 to 17. That means, for example, Atlanta students need to get their first shot by July 1 to be fully immunized by the first day of school on August 5.More Related News
