INDIANAPOLIS Hoosiers ages 12 and up will be eligible for the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine starting Thursday at 8 a.m.
On Wednesday, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention voted to recommend the vaccine for those 12 to 15 years old. It was the last step before the vaccine could be used in that age group. It is welcomed news to many families who have spent much of the pandemic quarantining and social distancing.
About 361,000 teens will become eligible in Indiana.
