New York teens get vaccinated against COVID-19
- 3 years ago
A round of applause rang out on Thursday as New York teenagers began receiving COVID-19 vaccinations.
Brothers Thomas and Brendan Lo, and Sydney Glover were among the first adolescents to be vaccinated at the Cohen Children's Medical Center on New York's Long Island.
"It feels good," said Thomas, 15. "Now I can meet with my friends and I won't have to worry so much about getting COVID. COVID is probably a ton worse than getting a vaccine."
U.S. regulators authorized Pfizer-BioNTech's COVID-19 vaccine for use in children as young as 12 earlier in the week, the first COVID-19 vaccine to be approved in the United States for ages 12 to 15.
