CDC advisory panel recommends Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine expansion to children ages 12 to 15

 CDC advisory panel recommends Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine expansion to children ages 12 to 15. The panel voted 14-0 with one recusal to recommend the vaccine expansion, which could be deployed as soon as Thursday after sign-off from the CDC. In late March, Pfizer released results from a study that "demonstrated high antibody responses and 100% efficacy against COVID-19," from 2,260 adolescent volunteers.
