Since a lot of chaos is being observed with the coming of the omicron variant, the states are under great stress along with the health sector. A series of amendments can be seen continuously by the medical agencies in the United States. The US administration is trying its level best to boost up the vaccination drives for booster shots and generate knowledge about it through every possible platform.
The WHA Recommending Booster Shots For The Children
During the press briefing at the White House, President Joe Biden has pushed his limits and has again urged the unvaccinated population to get vaccinated as soon as possible because of the rising cases the non-vaccinated people are at a higher risk level and it has been noticed that most of the cases are from the unvaccinated citizens.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the lead of the medical consultants of the federal government, has been claiming for months that the major rise in the cases has been due to the unvaccinated population and their stubbornness to not to receive the vaccination even for the sake of the country.
Talking about the booster shots, the administration initially allowed people aged 18 to 65 years and above to go ahead with their initial booster jabs after fulfilling the eligibility criteria of the US CDC. The outstanding results shown by the booster shots among this age group made the US Food and Drug Administration consider authorizing booster shots for 16-18-year-old teens in the country as they were also at high risk of getting affected by the omicron variant.
Dr. Fauci has been the biggest admirer of booster shots and also urged the FDA to consider an emergency use of booster shots for 12-15 years old adolescents in the United States.
Soon after this announcement came another one that suggested the use of booster shots for children aged between 12-15 years. Since the omicron variant was causing increasing hospitalizations amongst the younger kids in the US, it was thought necessary to expand the area of accessibility of the booster shots and let the youth protect themselves by receiving the booster shots.
The booster shot has been a greater source of protection and adds an extra layer of security to allow the individuals to fight against the omicron variant of covid 19.
Following the progress, new guidelines have been laid and the state has recommended the use of Pfizer booster shots for those aged between 12 to 15 years and the process will begin from Thursday itself. The administration is continuously urging the citizens to get booster shots for anyone aged 12 years and above to remain fully protected.
Being highly contagious in nature, prevention against this virus is the only source of protection at this point in time because the deadly combination of both the strains of coronavirus will attack the country in the upcoming days and will disrupt the working of the country.
Enhancing the protection level amongst the Kids has become an important objective for the US administration as of now due to rising cases in the kids.
