5 Persistent Myths About Kids And COVID-19 Vaccines, Debunked

Huff Post  

Aleksandr Zubkov via Getty Images The Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine was authorized by the FDA for use in 12- to 15-year-olds. The Food and Drug Administration on Monday authorized use of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for children in the U.S. who are between 12 and 15 years olds, a step that infectious disease and public health experts believe is crucial to help the country return to some level of “normality.” It’s also exciting news for many parents who are eager to get their children vaccinated, especially after grappling with how to proceed when they are fully immunized but their kids are not. “Because it’s such a charged subject, we are seeing a lot of false, non-scientific rhetoric.” But clinical trials in children tend to take longer because they require more safety precautions. “Even if in general, children don’t get as ill as adults, the risk of illness from COVID-19 still far outweighs risk of vaccine,” Abelowitz said. The Pfizer vaccine uses messenger RNA, or mRNA, technology that teaches the body’s cells to make a harmless piece of the so-called “spike protein” on the SARS-CoV-2 virus, triggering an immune response that produces antibodies.
