The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced on Monday that teens of the ages of 12 through 15 are now eligible to receive Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, which had only previously been available for Americans 16 and older.
Does this mean Ron Johnson is now eligible for a vaccine?
I think this is physical, not mental and emotional, age.
Ah, they finally figured out how to make a smaller, child-size GatesChip™. Good for them.
This should find wide acceptance because these kids really want to get back to school and be with their friends.
True, but only in non-deplorable households. The deplorable ones will just take a crapshoot on the health of their spawn.
I think they realized that by keeping the lower age at 12, the current chip still works. That’s why they are stressing it is the same dosage.
No, the vaccine was approved for children not apparatchik dickheads.
The kids are just as sick of being home with their parents as the parents are of them. Schools have vaccination requirements. I suppose some of the parents will claim the usual divine inspiration against the shot. Their kids will hate them even more for it.
Makes sense. I was just thinking on the timing that the new batches may have the latest tech being rolled out, and that’s why they were waiting to lower the age.
I’m getting my second shot today, will be annoyed if I’m still on a Gen 1 chip if the Gen 2s are starting to hit the streets.
My kiddo will have an appointment on his 12th birthday and I can finally stop worrying about his school system rushing kids back into classrooms.
Still waiting for St. Joseph’s orange flavored children’s vaccine.
“St Joseph”
Dude. We’re not the personality cult like the other party. I think we just need to call Biden “Joe”.
wow, I didn’t even make the uncle joe connection in my head
I was pining nostalgically for orange flavored stuff.
Nice reference
We have a small but extremely vocal group of parents who are anti-maskers constantly stirring up crap at my grandchildren’s pretty good public elementary school. This should definitely add fuel to their mental meltdown. The school has been steadily losing students to crazy home schooling schemes and charter schools over masking, and the decisions they have had to make all along the way have been brutal. It is not pretty, and the crazy parents are using “the children” as hostages in their war against science and rationality.
Well this makes 7 of my 11 grandkids to get the shot, 4 grade schoolers to go.
It’s aged 12-15, not IQ
Big news. Vaccinations of 12-15 year olds are starting in Chicago on Thursday and likely much of the rest of the country will roll it out by the weekend. This will really help insulate families from MAGA intransigence of vaccines. It must be said that President Biden has done a remarkable PR job to reboot the vaccination campaign last week. He has set new targets, has pushed folks to come up with creative incentives, and it is working. Vaccinations are up this week over last week and J&J is back to its highest levels of use pre-pause. J&J is really the key to get harder to reach groups, especially younger men.
kidding aside… congrats, glad it got worked out!
Finally got frustrated enough to dial-a-friend to help me, just got back from it.
Only effects so far is that I keep updating and rebooting.
