WILMINGTON The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said Monday children 12 to 15 years old were eligible to get Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, and by Thursday afternoon an on-site clinic was held for that age group at the Wilmington Middle School cafeteria.
About 102 students were registered, with parental consent, to receive the first dose of the vaccination Thursday. The recommended timing for the second dose is three weeks after the first shot, and though the school year will be over by then Wilmington City Schools (WCS) will open up its middle school building so students can go there and look forward to being fully vaccinated.
