BREAKING: Dr. Fauci Weighs In On Vaccinating Children

Earlier this week, the CDC approved the use of the COVID vaccine for children over the age of 12.

Though the vaccines have not been extensively tested on people in this age group, Dr. Fauci is weighing in to say “it is very important that children get this vaccination.”

He told CBS This Morning that even though children do not get seriously ill from COVID, they could potentially spread the virus and that risk makes the shot absolutely necessary.

Despite Dr. Fauci’s recommendation, polling shows only 30% of parents have indicated they plan on vaccinating their children.
