ORLANDO, Fla. – Following the FDA emergency approval of the Pfizer shots for children over 12 years old, major pharmacy chains across the U.S.
are starting to rollout appointments for the age group, including here in Florida. A government advisory committee recommended Pfizer’s vaccine for children 12 and older on Wednesday, after the Food and Drug Administration expanded authorization of the shots to the age group earlier in the week.
CVS announced vaccine appointments for children 12 to 15 are available at 640 pharmacy locations in Florida and more than 5,600 nationwide.
The pharmacy chain will begin giving shots to the youngest eligible age group beginning Thursday. Walk-ins will also be welcome where Pfizer shots are available.
