The clock is ticking to get your kids fully vaccinated against the coronavirus before school starts. The school year begins August 10 in Lee County and Collier County. So Doctors say parents who want their kids, ages 12 and up, to get the shot should consider looking at vaccine opportunities now.
With the Pfizer vaccine, which is the only one kids 12 and up are able to get, you need five weeks to become fully vaccinated.
The school year begins about four weeks Thursday, which is why health experts are urging parents to make those appointments as soon as possible.
