While it's a bit of a bummer to think about going back to school before it's even the Fourth of July, in many parts of the country, if you want your child to be immunized against Covid-19 by the time classes start, you need to act fast.
Many large school systems -- including Atlanta, Fort Myers, Florida, Flagstaff, Arizona, and the entire state of Hawaii -- start school in the first two weeks of August. It takes five weeks to be fully vaccinated with Pfizer's vaccine, the only one authorized for adolescents ages 12 to 17. That means, for example, Atlanta students need to get their first shot by July 1 to be fully immunized by the first day of school on August 5.
An HHS spokesperson also pointed to a May 26 Facebook town hall about families and vaccination and a toolkit for parents of adolescents to get information about Covid-19 vaccination and help finding a vaccination site. The spokesperson added that CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky and US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy hosted a press call with"mommy bloggers" and outlets targeted at parents and women.
Sounds strange we all being forced to vaccinate !!!!while time will tell.
Folks parents be careful! this mrna stuff is not tested for young people. Normally a vaccine needs 4 or 5 years to be ready.. this is here not the case. at this time the only vaccine which is produced as the old ones is soberana 2. let's hope..
