Today the ACIP met to discuss the safety and effectiveness of the adolescent Pfizer vaccine. This is the final step in approving the vaccine for mass distribution. Here are the slides. And here are your cliff notes… Bottom Line: Things are looking good. Well, not just good, they are looking great. This trial was as clean as it can get. There is nothing (big) we didn't expect. This vaccine is incredibly safe. And works incredibly well. I strongly support the use of this vaccine among those aged 12+. And this is urgent. If I had an adolescent, I would get them the vaccine as soon as possible.
"•Living with a child engaged in-person school increases the odds of COVID19 for the household compared to children not in attendance of in-person school. In other words, vaccinations are incredibly important with the opening of schools."
And this is why our child will not be returning to school until vaccines are made available for those in the pediatric population under 12.
Is the clinical trial data publicly available? I am curious if they included kids with a history of anaphylaxis. I’ve been asked by several parents who have kids who carry epi pens. While I know they reported no anaphylactic reactions in this trial, I’m curious just how powered they were to detect it.
We are so excited! Thank you for this analysis. My 12 year old is scheduled for her shot this afternoon and is giddy with excitement. She and her (also 12) BFF are planning mask less hang outs (because they are too big for play dates you know 😉) and a sleepover for 5 weeks from now. ❤️
My shot phobic 13 year old is actually looking forward to it. He wants to get back to game nights 😊❤️
