The case for vaccinating teens
Many parents are concerned about the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine but a Beaumont doctor lays out three simple reasons you should do it.
SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (FOX 2) - This week, the FDA and CDC both approved emergency use authorization for children between the ages of 12 and 15 to get the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.
While many parents are cautious about getting their kids the vaccine, Dr. Bishara Freij, the Chief of Pediatric Infectious Disease for Beaumont Children’s said there are three big reasons you should get the vaccine.
Utah s number of COVID-19 cases increased by 207 on Monday, with one more death and 8,832 vaccinations reported, according to the Utah Department of Health.
Current research activities include clinical trials of new and improved vaccines for children and adults, surveillance of invasive bacterial diseases and penumococcal vaccine impact in children in Nepal, studies of cellular and humoral immune responses to glycoconjugate and typhoid vaccines, and development of a serogroup B meningococcal vaccine.

CORONAVIRUS VACCINES
IN LOUISIANA More than a million people in Louisiana have completed their coronavirus vaccine series. That s about 22% of the state’s population. The latest health department data was released Thursday. Officials hailed the benchmark. But that vaccination rate remains far below the threshold scientists say is needed to stop the uncontrolled spread of the COVID-19 disease caused by the coronavirus. Louisiana has launched a broad statewide effort to try to overcome vaccine reluctance. But adding to that reluctance is the Centers for Disease Control and Food and Drug Administrations’ recent call to place the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine “on hold” so health experts can look into rare blood clots that occurred in 6 women weeks after receiving the coronavirus vaccine. The type of clot is called a cerebral venous sinus thrombosis or CVST for short.
