Big news when it comes to teenagers and COVID-19 vaccines. Younger teenagers could soon be eligible for the vaccine.
这是关于青少年和COVID-19疫苗的重大新闻。青少年可能很快就有资格接种疫苗了。
On Wednesday, Pfizer announced its vaccine is 100% effective in children between the ages of 12 and 15. More than 2,200 young teenagers were enrolled in a trial in the United States.
周三，辉瑞公司宣布其疫苗对12到15岁的儿童100%有效。2200多名青少年在美国参加了试验。
Contra Costa County has enough vaccines to offer it to everyone. As of Wednesday morning, they opened signups to residents 16 and older.
康特拉科斯塔县有足够的疫苗提供给所有人。截至周三上午，他们向16岁及以上的居民开放了预约。
43-year-old Joy Okere and her 16-year-old son Joshua didn’t hesitate to sign up for the COVID-19 vaccine.
43岁的乔伊·奥克尔(Joy Okere)和她16岁的儿子约书亚(Joshua)毫不犹豫地报名接种了COVID-19疫苗。
“Over a million people have died from this thing. That’s all I need to know. It’s serious and I want my kid to be alive,” she said.
“超过一百万人死于这种疾病。这就是我需要知道的。情况很严重，我希望我的孩子能活着，”她说。
Okere got her first dose Wednesday and her teenage son, a high school basketball player, will get his first shot on Friday.
奥克尔在周三接受了第一次注射，她十几岁的儿子，一名高中篮球运动员，将在周五接受第一次注射。
“He’s going to practice, there’s more exposure so I want to make sure he’s safe and he’s not getting sick or transmitting anything to anyone else” she added.
她补充说:“他将参加训练，有更多的接触机会，所以我想确保他的安全，他不会生病或将任何东西传染给其他人。”
While teenagers 16 and up are now signing up to get their shots in Contra Costa County, health officials say it likely won’t be long before even younger kids get to as well.
康特拉科斯塔县16岁及16岁以上的青少年正在登记接种疫苗，卫生官员表示，可能用不了多久，更小的孩子也会有资格接种疫苗。
Health officials say they expect the FDA to approve it for that age group within weeks.
卫生官员表示，他们希望FDA在几周内批准这一年龄段的人服用。
“I am hoping it gets approved relatively quickly, we can start over the summer get kids vaccinated so schools in August and September can be at full strength,” said Dr Ken Gullon with Kaiser Permanente.
Kaiser Permanente的Ken Gullon博士说:“我希望它能相对较快地得到批准，我们可以从夏天开始让孩子们接种疫苗，这样8月和9月的学校就可以全面开学了。”
Okere said she hopes all children get the chance to get vaccinated if scientists conclude its safe. She’s ready to leave the fear of COVID-19 behind.
Okere说，她希望如果科学家断定疫苗是安全的，所有儿童都有机会接种疫苗。她已经准备好将新冠肺炎的恐惧抛在脑后。
“The fear of catching it and dying is worse than getting the vaccine. To me it’s a no brainer,” She said.
“对感染和死亡的恐惧比接种疫苗更可怕。对我来说，这很容易，”她说。
Clinical trials of kids younger than 12 are also underway. Pfizer hopes the vaccine is available to those younger children early next year.
针对12岁以下儿童的临床试验也在进行中。辉瑞公司希望这种疫苗能在明年年初提供给那些年幼的儿童。
