SHARE THE FACTS.        TELL YOUR STORY.

Vaccinating adolescents is an important step toward stopping the spread of COVID-19. Yet it has been met with mixed reactions, with some parents eager to vaccinate their children against COVID-19 and others experiencing hesitancy. Pfizer’s vaccine was found to be safe and effective in 12-15-year-olds in clinical trials.(Centers for Disease Control & Prevention)

 

Ifyou’ve been fully vaccinated, you can resume activities without wearing a mask or social distancing. If you’ve been around someone who has COVID-19, you do not need to stay away from others or get tested unless you have symptoms. If you travel in the United States, you do not need to get tested before or after travel or self-quarantine after travel. Local laws, rules, and regulations,including local business and workplace guidance, still apply.
