Vaccines for 12+

[jon-nyc]

Both Pfizer/BioNtech and Moderna are currently testing age 12+.

Hopefully my son can get vaccinated this summer. (he turns 12 in June)

Actually now that I think about it, it's not obvious to me they'll give it an EUA. Or at least not as quickly as they did for the adult version (~2mo). Kids' risk just isn't that high.

@jon-nyc nor is the risk of transmission.

I can foresee this becoming an older adult vaccine in 10 years or so.

That’s true with small kids, but older teens?
