MN Parents: Do You Want Your Young Teens Vaccinated?

MINNESOTA — The federal panel that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention voted to recommend that the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine be used in children ages 12-15 after the Food and Drug Administration announced earlier this week that it was expanding its emergency use authorization for the vaccine.

In Minnesota, Gov. Tim Walz said the state is ready to begin vaccinating children ages 12-15. Minnesota parents will likely be able to make appointments for vaccinations later this week, according to Walz's office. Parent or guardian consent is required for COVID-19 vaccination for people under 18.
