Adolescents ages 12 to 15 should get the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine and they can get their other routine vaccinations along with it, a federal advisory committee said Wednesday.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention s panel met to discuss the safety, immune response and effectiveness of the vaccine in this age group, after the Food and Drug Administration signed off Monday on the shots.
The same Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices last December signed off on the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for adults and teens ages 16 to 17. Fourteen members of the panel on Wednesday endorsed lowering the age limit to 12, with one member recusing herself.

Call it mindwriting.
The combination of mental effort and state-of-the-art technology have allowed a man with immobilized limbs to communicate by text at speeds rivaling those achieved by his able-bodied peers texting on a smartphone.
Stanford University investigators have coupled artificial-intelligence software with a device, called a brain-computer interface, implanted in the brain of a man with full-body paralysis. The software was able to decode information from the BCI to quickly convert the man s thoughts about handwriting into text on a computer screen.
The man was able to write using this approach more than twice as quickly as he could using a previous method developed by the Stanford researchers, who reported those findings in 2017 in the journal eLife.
Study Shows That A Blood Test Could Predict Your Baby’s Birth Date
A group of scientists may have discovered a new blood test which gives an accurate prediction of a baby’s due date.
These scientists at Stanford University School of Medicine through research done have found a way to predict when the baby is popping by observing properties in the mother’s blood.
This research was carried out amongst 63 women who gave two or three blood samples in the last 100 days of their pregnancies.
All these women went into labour at similar time frames and doctors where then able to compare their labour date with their blood samples.
