That 12 to 16 age group, as they are in adults. And that is very good news. And that very promising results now in hand, means the Fdas Vaccine advisory group is apparently soon going to make its recommendations, and the fda will be expected to move quickly on approving the Pfizer Vaccine for 12 to 16yearolds, 12 to 15yearolds, since the current vaccines are approved for kids 16 and up. This could happen by next week. It could potentially happen by The End of this week.

There are also promising trials underway right now for kids younger than age 12. So that part of the Vaccination Effort is all happening now. It feels like its sort of happening all at once, but we have been able to see this Clinical T
The president talked about the progress and the challenges still ahead. The fact is that nearly 85 of seniors have had at least one vaccination shot. And the wide Cross Section of the nation trusts the vaccine regardless of race or ideology. Now, we need to make the same progress for those under 65 years of age. There are a lot of younger people. Especially those in Their 20s And 30s who believe they dont need it. But i want to be absolutely clear, you do need to get vaccinated. This as Nbc News has learned the biden administration is telling states any Vaccine Doses left unordered will be offered to other states. The u. S.
