CADILLAC â It s been three weeks since young teens age 12 to 15 have been able to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
In that time, 19.4% of the state s population in that age bracket have had their first shot in a two-dose series; according to data from June 1, that means 96,379 young teens out of 497,959 have partial protection against the virus.
Young teens are gaining on 16- to 19-year-olds, who have been eligible for the Pfizer vaccine since early April (the Moderna and Johnson and Johnson vaccines are still only for people 18 and older).
Though school-age teenagers are about to leave school for the summer, early summer vaccination can put families in a good position to enjoy summer festivals, activities and the resumption of sports practices before next school year, health care professionals suggested during a recent Munson Healthcare-hosted press conference.
