Fairbanks youth 12 to 15 years old can get a Pfizer vaccine this week to protect them from the Covid-19 virus, slow the community transmission and allow teenagers do the things they love, health officials said.
Following the emergency use authorization of the Pfizer vaccine for adolescents, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices approved and recommended it on Wednesday, finding the vaccine effective and safe for the 12 to 15 age group.
âThe side effect profile for the vaccine has been very similar to adults â which is a sore arm, fatigue, maybe fever and feeling a little ill, but those last just a couple of days,â said Dr. Michelle Nace, a pediatrician at Tanana Valley Clinic and Fairbanks Memorial Hospital. âThe efficacy has been even better than for adults â it was 100% effective in the group where they did the study, which is very encouraging.â
