More people across Virginia are now eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.
The Virginia Department of Health announced on Wednesday evening that those as young as 12 years old can now receive the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.
“Generally, adolescents who contract COVID-19 usually do not develop severe symptoms, but they contribute to the spread of COVID-19. Vaccinating adolescents, along with the rest of Virginia’s eligible population, will help stop the spread of COVID-19 and make our communities safer,” said Virginia’s vaccination coordinator Dr. Danny Avula. “Getting this safe, effective vaccine means that these adolescents won’t have to miss school, sporting events or other activities if they are exposed to someone with COVID-19, taking another step toward getting their lives back to normal.”
