Biden: ‘Parents, Get Your Teenagers Vaccinated’

‘We know what it takes to keep our children safe and our schools open’

EXCERPT:

BIDEN: “Now, for any parent, it doesn’t matter how low the risk of any illness is when it could happen to your child. But we all know if schools follow the science — and they are here — and implement safety measures like vaccinations, testing, masking, children can be safe in schools, safe from COVID-19. My plan does all these things. On vaccinations, it comes down to two separate categories: children ages 12 and older, like Elijah, who are eligible for vaccines and he got his; children ages 11 and under who are not yet eligible. The safest thing you can do for your child 12 and older is get them vaccinated. That's it, simple, plain, straightforward, get them vaccinated. So parents, get your teenagers vaccinated. You got them vaccinated for all kinds of other things, measles, mumps, rubella. For them to go to school and to be able to play sports, they have had to have those vaccinations. Get them vaccinated. COVID-19 vaccine is easy, it is safe and it’s convenient. And we’ll work to bring the vaccine clinics to our schools as well.”
