Biden to Parents: ‘Make Sure’ You Vaccinate Your Kids Against Covid

EXCERPT:

BIDEN: "This is one more giant step in our fight against the pandemic. I sincerely think the scientists, researchers, and clinical trial participants deserve our thanks. They’ve all made this possible. Because of them, nearly 17 million more Americans are eligible to get vaccinated now, now. I encourage each of them and their parents to get their vaccination shots right away, and here is why. We know that kids at this age, 12 and above, are at risk from Covid-19. About three million Covid-19 cases have been reported in kids under 17 years of age. And teenagers can spread it to their friends, to their siblings, to their parents, and to their grandparents. Now, that vaccine is authorized for ages 12 and up. And I encourage their parents to make sure they get the shot. As a promised last week, we're ready. This new population is going to find the vaccine rollout fast and efficient.”
