In Pennsylvania, as with the rest of the country, children over the age of twelve are now allowed to be vaccinated using the Pfizer dose. Moderna and J&J are expected to be similarly approved in short order. But for some Keystone State lawmakers, this situation is raising an uncomfortable question. There are students in the 12-17 age range who are interested in being vaccinated but they can’t do so without the consent of their parents. That’s led State Senator Amanda Cappelletti to craft a bill that would allow children who are at least 14 years old to make the choice for themselves after talking to a family doctor or pediatrician. Needless to say, this isn’t a popular idea with everyone. (CBS Pittsburgh)
