CDC panel recommends Pfizer COVID vaccine for adolescents
Adolescents as young as 12 years old across the country can start receiving the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine immediately after a federal advisory panel endorsed the measure Wednesday.
The 14-0 vote, with one recusal from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices was part of the final process before the shot becomes widely available to the younger population. |
