Efforts to get youths vaccinated against COVID-19 are taking two tracks: preparing for emergency approval of one vaccine for those ages 12 to 15, and conducting clinical trials aimed at pushing the age even lower.
Food and Drug Administration approval of the Pfizer vaccine for 12- to 15-year-olds is expected by early next week. Preliminary trial results released by Pfizer found no COVID cases among fully vaccinated youths, compared with 18 cases among those given placebo shots.
Dr. Anne OâKeefe, Douglas County Health Departmentâs senior epidemiologist, said the department is working with pediatriciansâ offices to make sure the vaccine is available in as many offices as possible. Health officials know many parents will want to speak with their kidsâ doctors about the shots and that many will prefer that their children be vaccinated in those offices.

Study dives deeper into genetic differences between modern and archaic humans
Researchers examined 14,000 genetic differences between modern humans and our most recent ancestors at a new level of detail. They found that differences in gene activation – not just genetic code – could underlie evolution of the brain and vocal tract. By Taylor Kubota
A genome by itself is like a recipe without a chef – full of important information, but in need of interpretation. So, even though we have sequenced genomes of our nearest extinct relatives – the Neanderthals and the Denisovans – there remain many unknowns regarding how differences in our genomes actually lead to differences in physical traits.

A genome by itself is like a recipe without a chef - full of important information, but in need of interpretation. So, even though we have sequenced genomes of our nearest extinct relatives - the Neanderthals and the Denisovans - there remain many unknowns regarding how differences in our genomes actually lead to differences in physical traits. When we re looking at archaic genomes, we don t have all the layers and marks that we usually have in samples from present-day individuals that help us interpret regulation in the genome, like RNA or cell structure, said David Gokhman, a postdoctoral fellow in biology at Stanford University.
