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
Minneapolis-based Kraus-Anderson has put the finishing touches on a $5.5 million expansion of the HealthPartners Cancer Care Center at Regions Hospital in St. Paul.
The project, a reuse of the hospital’s former labor and delivery area, includes 29 infusion bays, three nursing stations, a fast-track lab, a reception and waiting area and offices, according to Kraus-Anderson.
Pope Architects designed the project.
Paul Moore, a Regions spokesman, said in December that the new 21,000-square-foot space was needed because “our patient population is growing and we need more space for them. We also absorbed the patients from the closed Riverside clinic.”
Space for the new cancer center became available after Regions Hospital opened its new $75.5 million, 160,000-square-foot facility for mothers and babies last year.
