CHESTERFIELD, Va. With COVID-19 vaccine trials proving to work well in adolescents aged 12 through 15, parents may soon have the option to get their children vaccinated.
Many parents are still skeptical over letting their children get the vaccine, while others said they don t want to take any chances of their children catching the virus or spreading it if they return to in-person school in the fall.

RICHMOND, Va. A Virginia delegate who introduced legislation in the 2021 General Assembly to regulate so-called ghost guns said he was pleased to see a national push to address the issue.
President Biden, in his first major proposal on gun control, announced multiple executive actions, one specifically aimed at regulating home-made guns that don t have a serial number. I went to a gun show in Fredericksburg a couple weeks ago, paid all cash, nobody asked me who I was or to provide any ID, walked out with this 80% unfinished firearm, said Democratic Delegate Marcus Simon.

Children could soon be eligible for a COVID vaccine in Virginia.

RICHMOND, Va. Health experts in Virginia believe that children as young as 12 years old may be eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine by the fall if studies continue upward.
A
phase 3 trial showed the Pfizer vaccine had a 100% effectiveness rate on kids aged 12 to 15 years old. Health experts say younger children tend to have a better immune system, and they respond better to vaccinations than adults.
Because of these breakthroughs in trials, Dr. Micheal Martin, President of Virginia Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, believes that Virginia and other states could allow those as young as 12 to get the vaccine by the fall at least, or before school starts but studies will have to continue before that happens.
