CDC Advisors Recommend Vaccine for 12 – 15-Year-Olds

The CDC makes recommendations for vaccinations and on Wednesday, its advisers voted that a booster was safe for children between 12 and 15 and should be offered to them once five months has passed since their last shot. And while the CDC last month opened boosters as an option for 16- and 17-year-olds, the panel said that recommendation should be strengthened to say they “should” get the extra dose.
