(WWBT) - The push is on to get teenagers vaccinated against coronavirus as the nation fights to reach herd immunity. Friday, one local health department brought the vaccines directly to area high school students. The Pfizer vaccine is available now to teens who are 16 and 17 years old. In the near future, even younger children are expected to be eligible. “It’s overwhelming for the year we’ve had to finally sit here in the school and be able to give these kids shots,” said Goochland High School nurse Kent Duffey.
