The Food and Drug Administration will soon authorize the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for adolescents ages 12-15, who could be eligible to receive the shots as early as next week, according to media reports.
The New York Times was the first to report about the FDA s impending authorization on Monday, which has been widely expected. CNN also reported the development.
