Colorado Springs, Colorado (KKTV)-Governor Jared Polis and the state’s Supreme Health Authority recommend vaccination for everyone between the ages of 12 and 15. Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine has recently been approved for emergency use in that age group.
According to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), Colorado has nearly 300,000 children aged 12 to 15 years. Eleven percent of children in that age group are already vaccinated.
“We need to keep pace over the next few weeks,” said Governor Police.
Schools and childcare account for the highest proportion of newly reported outbreaks, according to the state.
State epidemiologist Rachel Harley said: “The vaccination coverage of these individuals needs to be increased to protect them from infection.”
According to CDPHE, Pfizer’s vaccine trial between the ages of 12 and 15 involved 2,260 children. Eighteen cases of COVID-19 were reported in the unvaccinated placebo group. There were no cases of COVID in the vaccinated group.
In addition, CDPHE stated that there were no apparently serious side effects associated with pediatric vaccines. Participants experienced symptoms similar to those of other age groups, including temporary arm pain, malaise, headache, chills, and muscle aches.
Even if parents are vaccinated, state health officials say they still need to be careful.
“It’s important for parents to continue to take precautions to protect their young children from infection,” Herlihy said.
The American Academy of Pediatrics also announced that it is safe for children to receive the COVID-19 vaccine at the same time as other routine immunizations.
Many healthcare providers require parents to be present when their children are vaccinated.
