CDC approved Pfizer for 12-15 year olds

Woo hoo.

CDC approved Pfizer and my pharmacist said the system should be set to not kick out our14 year old son from booking an appointment either tomorrow or Friday once corporate fixed the website.

He has a chance for a normal summer.

So excited 😆

and one who'll turn twelve around Thanksgiving. The first three will be vaccinated as soon as their parents manage it, and I'm expecting once again a lightening of the background worry that's become normal. Another's almost 4, entering pre-K in August, and it seems likely he'll be vaccinated this year also.

It's happening!

Soon, maybe in 2022, 6 month to 2 year olds will be vaccinated too!

I expect all babies, toddlers, and school age children will be routinely vaccinated, including yearly booster shots, going forward.

Easy online sign up through our county health department here in Georgia!

CVS & Walgreens will also provide the vaccine to 12-15 year olds, but it might be next week before the corporate offices give the go ahead.

I found the first available place to get my child vaccinated!

So our family will all be vaccinated before summer camp starts on the 20th of June.

At the rate the former guy was vaccinating folks I wouldn't have had mine until at least September.

Go, Joe, go!
