People between 12 and 16 not getting vaccines by the end of 2021 is not even a 90% proposition. Studies are already underway for this age cohort, and it is plausible that a vaccine will be available for teenagers as soon as September of this year.
The clinical trials on children by Moderna and Biontech have end dates somewhere in 2022, thus I had supposed we won’t see any approval in 2021. That assumption seems to be wrong and I’m happy to stand corrected.
I still believe we’re missing something when we complain about the “abundance of caution” concerning 19 year old women, but hardly talk at all about the abundance of caution delaying vaccinations of a 15yo.
