CHARLESTON As West Virginia struggles to get teenagers and young adults vaccinated for COVID-19, the state is preparing for the likely approval of middle schoolers for vaccinations.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is expected to approve next week a request from Pfizer/BioNTech to allow for use of their two-dose vaccine for children between the ages of 12 and 15. The request would require the FDA amending Pfizer’s previous emergency authorization.
The move is part of a three-phase program introduced by President Joe Biden on Tuesday to get 70% of all U.S. adults partially vaccinated and 160 million eligible Americans fully vaccinated by July 1, requiring more than 100 million shots over the next 60 days.
