Vaccinating 12-15 Year-Olds Against Covid-19 w/ The Immunisation Advisory Centre: June 22, 2021

Yesterday, provisional approval was given for children aged 12 to 15 to get the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine by MedSafe. 

News and Editorial Director Jemima Huston interviews Dr Emma Best, a Medical Advisor for University of Auckland's Immunisation Advisory Centre, about vaccinating children as young as 12 against Covid-19. We discuss the Centre’s position on Medsafe’s provisional approval of the Pfizer vaccine for children, whether bumping vulnerable children up the list is an option and wider concerns about caregivers’ willingness to vaccinate their children.
