Arizona teens’ demand for the COVID-19 vaccine could mean big things for a return to normalcy this fall.
Arizona opened its vaccine eligibility to young people ages 12 to 15 on Thursday following approval on one vaccine from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for use on younger people.
Pfizer is currently the only brand approved for anyone under the age of 18 in the U.S. According to the Arizona Department of Health Services, all seven state-run sites saw a boost in vaccine distribution right away.
