The Forsyth County Department of Public Health is conducting a COVID-19 vaccination survey of parents with children ages 12-15 in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools.
Next week, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration are expected to provide emergency use authorization for the two-dose Pfizer vaccine among young people in that age group.
The agencies already have approved the Pfizer vaccine for ages 16 and 17Â â without parental permission necessary for vaccination.
The two-dose Moderna vaccine could be an option for ages 12 to 17 by this summer.
The goal appears to be providing vaccinations for 12- to 15-year-olds before the 2021-22 school year begins.
