CANTON â Moments after news broke Monday that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized use of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for 12- to 15-year-olds in the United States, Dr. Andrew F. Williams, president of the St. Lawrence County Board of Health, made the case to county legislators to get adolescents vaccinated locally.
While younger people arenât likely to suffer from extreme illness if infected with the coronavirus, he said, there has lately been indications that teens could be victims of significant chronic illness after being infected.
Dr. Williams said that vaccines are highly effective at preventing infection and are highly effective at preventing transmission to others.
