ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A coronavirus vaccine dose mistakenly administered to an underage person at an Anchorage clinic has prompted a site review and altered some practices for the healthcare company tasked with operating the facilities, according to state health officials.
While everyone 16 or older is eligible for inoculation, only the Pfizer vaccine has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for people under age 18, the Anchorage Daily News reported Wednesday.
The other two vaccines available in the U.S. created by Moderna and Johnson & Johnson have only been approved for use by those 18 or older.
