WASHINGTON, May 13 ― US President Joe Biden yesterday urged parents to get their children vaccinated after a government advisory panel authorised the Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine for children aged 12 to 15.
“Now that vaccine is authorised for ages 12 and up, and I encourage their parents to make sure they get the shot,” Biden said. “This is one more giant step on our fight against the pandemic.”
A US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advisory panel yesterday backed use of the vaccine for younger adolescents in a unanimous vote. ― Reuters
