COVID-19 Vaccine and Children: Their body, their choice?

BALTIMORE, MD (WEAA) — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory committee is scheduled to vote Wednesday on the use of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine for children. 

 

The Food and Drug Administration recently cleared the expanded use of Pfizer's shots, stating the shots worked as well in those 12 to 15 years old as those 16 and older.

 

If the CDC approves, states will begin shipping doses of the vaccine to pediatricians and even schools. 

 

Do your children have the right to decide what happens to their bodies?
