COLLEGE STATION, Texas Vaccinations in America are available to young adults and older. However, children are not yet able to get the vaccine. In a recent study by the American Academy of Pediatrics, 22% of the new covid cases are children.
Children can’t get the vaccine just yet, and that may be a large part of why the ratio of kids getting coronavirus compared to adults is on the rise. It’s not surprising because adults, particularly the group that 65 and older have been vaccinated and now in texas adults 16 and older can be vaccinated, Marcia Ory, professor at Texas A&M School of Public Health said As you get people vaccinated, you have a pie and you take out the older people from the pie, and what does that leave?
