Over quarter of new coronavirus cases in Colorado involve kids, data shows
Fox News
Over a quarter of new coronavirus cases in Colorado at the end of last month occurred in kids and teens through age 19.
The FDA is expected to issue a decision in the coming days on Pfizer’s request to expand the current emergency use authorization granted to its COVID-19 vaccine to allow for teens ages 12 to 15. Currently, the FDA EUA allows for the two-dose jab to be administered to anyone 16 years of age and older. The Pfizer vaccine is the only one approved for 16 and 17-year-olds, as Moderna and Johnson & Johnson only received approval for those 18 and up. "We already have a vaccine clinic being set up for ages 16-21 next weekend," Dr. Reginald Washington, chief medical officer at Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children in Denver, told 9NEWS. "It’ll be a simple matter of extending that down to 12-21 at our hospital."More Related News
