COLUMBIA â Following the FDAâs expansion of the emergency use authorization for the Pfizer vaccine to include 12-to-15-year-olds last week, MU Health Care will hold a special vaccination event geared towards this age group Monday.Â
The Faurot Field vaccination site at the Walsworth Family Columns Club will have a clinic open for adolescents from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday.Â
MU Health Care vaccine co-chair and family medicine physician Dr. Laura Morris said although the event is targeted towards teens, the clinic isnât limited to that age group.
âOur demand from adults has been dropping recently. So, I think that weâll see a lot of those slots taken by teens,â Dr. Morris said. âBut, weâre not excluding others who also want to get a vaccine.â
