DENVER â Now that the Pfizer vaccine has been approved for adolescents age 12 and up, parents have questions and Denver7 is seeking answers.
On Thursday, Denver7 s Shannon Ogden sat down for a virtual town hall with state leaders about the vaccine as it relates to teenagers.
Gov. Jared Polis, Dr. Eric France, the chief medical officer at the CDPHE, and Brandy Emily, the immunization branch deputy director at CDPHE, gave their insights.
All three agreed, getting the vaccine to as many eligible people as possible is a priority. As a parent, if I would get one vaccine for my kid, this would be it, Polis said. By far, the highest risk of them being hospitalized or even dying right now in Colorado is COVID-19.

I live life in a wheelchair because of my service in Afghanistan, Ortiz said. We ve all lost friends there. To make that sacrifice worth it, I want to make sure that we leave in a way to where we never experience a 9/11-style attack from that region of the world ever again.
