According to a news release, the Food and Drug Administration has expanded the emergency use authorization for Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine to include children and teens ages 12 to 15. Pfizer’s clinical trials involving 12 to 15 year olds showed 100 percent efficacy, robust antibody responses, and no serious side effects.
BACH Commander Colonel Patrick Birchfield says, “Although most children who get COVID-19 seem to recover, we do not know the lasting impacts COVID-19 may have on them. As more contagious strains of the virus spread, it is critically important to protect children and teens with the COVID-19 vaccination.”
