The site acknowledges that COVID-19 is here to stay. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has found it necessary for the US government to vaccinate its citizens, including children, youths, and adults. Vaccinating the population is one of the critical programs that the government has implemented to protect vulnerable children and kids from COVID-19 and its related complications. The information on the site says that it is only through vaccination that the country can go back to its regular operation that existed before the pandemic. According to the CDC (2021), there are no authorized vaccines for young children of ages four and below. For children between the ages of 5 to 11, Pfizer-BioNTech is the specified vaccine for this group. Moreover, for teens between the ages of 12 to 17, Pfizer-BioNTech still applies. Adults (18 years and above) are vaccinated by Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccines.
In conclusion, there are several benefits of COVID-19 vaccination. It helps individuals, especially young children, from affecting members of their families who may not be eligible for the vaccines. Again, children who get the dose have a reduced risk of getting seriously sick when attacked by the virus. Both the federal government and the state government have put in place vaccination programs in the United States and are free of charge.
