As pharmacists and healthcare providers rallied to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, the race to vaccinate the public opened a different battlefront addressing vaccine equity. Although people of color have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic in coronavirus cases, hospitalizations, and deaths, these communities of color have lower rates of vaccination. In Wisconsin, the COVID-19 vaccination rate for Black patients is about half the rate of white patients.
MADISON, Wis. Even though on Monday the FDA gave its approval for the Pfizer vaccine to be used for kids 12-15-years-old, we’re still waiting for the green light from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
After that approval, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services also needs to give the go ahead before Wisconsinites 12-15 can start getting immunized. Both of these approvals could come as early as Wednesday.
Until then, vaccinators are doing things a little differently in terms of scheduling that age group.
Fitchburg Family Pharmacy has been scheduling 12-15-year-olds since last week, assuming the approvals would come before this Thursday. The pharmacy has well over 1,500 kids already signed up for four remote clinics in Verona, Middleton and Fitchburg next week.
