There's a chance that U.S. teens may be able to get vaccinated as early as summer according to health officials.
COVID-19 has generally been less harmful to younger people, at least 3 million U.S. children have been diagnosed with COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic according to the CDC. According to one Johns Hopkins researcher, they said that getting teens vaccinated is essential to finally slowly down the spread of the virus.
They stated "In order to reach a level of herd immunity in our population where we can get rid of this virus, we're going to need to vaccinate our kids. If you fail to vaccinate a population, that means you're still allowing the virus to go on to have new mutations."
