Where 12- to 15-year-olds will get shots is the key question being asked after the F91��Ƭ approved the Pfizer-BioNTech’s vaccine for younger teens on Monday.

In trials, the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine was in 12- to 15-year-olds, who receive the same dosage as people 16 and older, the Food and Drug 91��Ƭistration said.

“Today’s action allows for a younger population to be protected from COVID-19, bringing us closer to returning to a sense of normalcy and to ending the pandemic,” Acting F91��Ƭ Commissioner Dr. Janet Woodcock said in a statement.

Approximately 1.5 million COVID cases in 11- to 17-year-olds were logged by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from March 1, 2020, through April 30, 2021, the F91��Ƭ said.

More from 91��Ƭ: Students offered vaccine prizes as lawmakers debate requirements

Over the last few months, school districts across the country have partnered with healthcare providers to begin vaccinating students 16 and older. 91��Ƭistrators have told District 91��Ƭistration that offering the shots at school was the best way to expand access to all students.

“From an equity standpoint, one thing our high school students shared with is, if we wouldn’t have had clinics during the school day, they were concerned they wouldn’t be able to get to the vaccine because parents couldn’t take off work or transportation was a challenge for their families,” Christy Ziegler, the chief of student services at Shawnee Mission School District in Kansas, said last month.

But some officials expect to encounter more vaccine hesitancy among parents of younger children, .

In Connecticut, Community Health Center plans to offer shots, to younger teens at amusement parks, beaches and camps. And Denver Health in Colorado will expand its school-based vaccination clinics to middle school students, according to The New York Times. 

Monday’s approval also raises the question of whether schools will require vaccines for COVID, as they do for diseases such as polio, measles and tetanus.

In January, outgoing Los Angeles USD Superintendent Austin Beutner said once they were approved for students, according to U.S News & World Report. 

In Washington, Eatonville School District Superintendent Krestin Bahr told CBNC that her district would that students get vaccinated.

Requiring the vaccination could convince some students—particularly those struggling with mental health issues—not to return to in-person instruction, Bahr told CNBC.
