They can but your state may not be going them that young yet. Chev wth your local Guidelines. Eventually all in school should vaccinated. Your governor seems to be a COVID-19 expert. Contact his office for more information and follow daily updates from CDC.gov.

Not yet! Safety and efficacy have not been determined. Trial is on going now for children 12-15 years and we should hear soon. If proven safe and effective, 6-11 age group will be enrolled.

Yes! COVID-19 vaccine is available, safe, and found to be effective for children 6 months and older and adults. In the US it is emergency use authorized for 6 months and up and fully authorized for 16 years of age and up. I encourage everyone who is eligible to be vaccinated and boosted!
