Seattle Public Schools could demand COVID-19 vaccine mandate
Millions of younger children are now eligible to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director signed off on authorizing smaller doses of the Pfizer vaccine for children ages 5 to 11 Tuesday.
The first doses, about a third the size of an adult dose, arrived at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle Tuesday.
Clinics, pharmacies and schools are now making plans to administer the shots, but Seattle Public Schools could go a step further.
The board is expected to take up a resolution Wednesday that would ask the state to add the shot to the list of immunizations students are already required to receive if they attend public school once the shot is fully approved by the FDA, not just for emergency use.
