MONTPELIER â Younger Vermonters are anticipated to join those eligible for the COVID-19 vaccines very soon.
Mike Smith, secretary of the Agency of Human Services, said the state plans to immediately open vaccination registration up to 12- to 15-year-olds once the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention approves use for the age group. The FDA authorized the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for younger adolescents Monday and he anticipates a decision from the CDC this week.
In addition to regular clinics, schools will offer the vaccine to the younger age group in Vermont. At the governorâs regular Tuesday news conference on the stateâs response to the coronavirus pandemic, Smith said more than 40 schools are preparing to house clinics and the state is seeking more Pfizer doses for the effort.
