Teenagers 16-18 can get vaccinated in California: What to know
April 19, 2021Updated: April 19, 2021 4 a.m.
Emma Yin, 16, receives a COVID-19 vaccine at UCSF Benioff Children Hospital from nurse Melani Wells in Oakland, Calif. on April 15, 2021. It was the first day that anyone over 16 years old in California could receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
California took a big step last week opening vaccine eligibility to everyone 16 and over, and teenagers are getting in line for shots.
The American Academy of Pediatrics issued a statement in February urging all eligible teens to receive the COVID-19 vaccine to help end the suffering and death caused by COVID-19.
"I do think that teenagers should receive the COVID vaccine, once they meet criteria," said Dr. Lisa Dana, a pediatrician at Golden Gate Pediatrics in San Francisco and Mill Valley. "Everyone ideally should receive the vaccine once eligible, and deemed safe."
Chris Mathura, 17, receives his COVID-19 vaccine from nurse Kimberly Torda at UCSF Benioff Children Hospital in Oakland, Calif. on April 15, 2021. It was the first day that anyone over 16 years old in California could receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
For parents and teens booking appointments, it's important to know that teens under the age of 18 need parental or guardian consent to get inoculated in California. When a 16- or 17-year-old gets a jab, a parent or guardian must be present.
What's more, while everyone 16 or older is eligible for inoculation, only the Pfizer vaccine has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for people under age 18. The Pfizer vaccine is a two-dose shot that was 95% effective in preventing COVID illness in clinical trials.
The other two vaccines available in the U.S. created by Moderna and Johnson & Johnson are authorized for use in adults 18 and over. Pfizer’s vaccine was approved for use in 16- and 17-year-olds because the company included that age range in its clinical trials.
Pfizer asked the FDA earlier this month to authorize use of its vaccine in individuals ages 12 to 15 and this age group could start getting inoculated as early this summer.
Moderna recently began two separate studies that will test its vaccine in children under 12 and another study in people ages 12 to 17. The company has said it could have results for the older age group by the summer.
While young people tend to have mild cases of COVID-19, teenagers are about twice as likely to become infected with the coronavirus as younger children, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Researchers specifically found COVID-19 incidence among those age 12 to 17 years was approximately twice that in children aged 5–11 years based on analysis of 277,285 cases reported in school-age U.S. children from March 1 to September 19, 2020.
Preliminary research also shows older children spread the virus more easily than younger children.
"Teenagers aren’t a major risk for getting sick and dying, but they are clearly a reservoir for this virus and they’ll spread it," said Dr. George Rutherford, a professor of epidemiology at UCSF. "Teenagers tend to live with parents and grandparents and can spread it to them. Where we are now in the pandemic, we still need to get more older people and high-risk people vaccinated. We also need to get the drivers of the pandemic vaccinated, and this tends to be younger people. With teenagers, the virus spreads just as easily as it does with adults, they’re not like 11-year-olds with lower transmission rates."
Rutherford noted that a recent surge in COVID cases in Michigan has in part been driven by infections in young people and shows the importance of getting teenagers vaccinated.
Michigan health officials have said among the biggest drivers of coronavirus infections in the state are outbreaks in youth athletes and those associated with K-12 schools, according to the Detroit Free Press. "Cases among kids ages 10-19 are at an all-time high, the state's top epidemiologist, Sarah Lyon-Callo, reported last week, quadrupling from four weeks earlier," the news site reported on April 13. 
Lucy Roberts, 16, holds the hand of her father Scott as she receives a COVID-19 vaccine at UCSF Benioff Children Hospital from nurse Melani Wells in Oakland, Calif. on April 15, 2021. It was the first day that anyone over 16 years old in California could receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
Teenagers receive vaccine in the same way adults do, with an injection in the arm. Common side effects include injection site pain, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, chills, joint pain and fever.
"Because teens have more robust immune systems, it’s possible that they may feel these side effects more strongly than adults would," Dr. Angela Dangvu, a pediatrician at Children's Hospital Orange County, said in a Q&A posted in response to the state opening vaccine eligibility to 16 and over on April 15. "This is a sign that their immune system is mounting a response against the virus."
Dangyu also said that while teens and families can have more peace of mind about the safety of resuming more typical activities when teens get vaccinated, they still need to wear masks in group settings and public places where masking is required.
"In one-on-one activities where a teen and their friend are both fully vaccinated, they can feel comfortable removing their masks so long as no one in either household is high-risk and unvaccinated," she said.

Israel began administering COVID-19 vaccines to teenagers Saturday as it pushed ahead with its inoculation drive, with a quarter of the population now vaccinated, health officials said.
Since the rollout of vaccinations a month ago, some 2.5 million of Israel’s nine-million-strong population have been vaccinated already, the health ministry said on Friday.
Expanding the campaign to include teens in 11th and 12th grade came days after Israel, on Tuesday, extended its third national coronavirus lockdown until the end of the month due to a surge in coronavirus infections. The tightened lockdown measures had been set to expire Thursday night, but ministers agreed to extend the restrictions until January 31.
The Health Ministry on Friday reported a further decline in daily new coronavirus infections the day before, as Israel’s worst outbreak since the start of the pandemic appeared to ease following weeks of strict lockdown rules. Meanwhile, the country is also set to take fresh steps to attempt to curb the infections, including raising fines on rule-breakers and increasing limitations on international flights.
On Saturday, the Health Ministry said 7,316 new cases were confirmed the day before, after peaking at over 10,100 earlier in the week. The total number of infections recorded in Israel reached 593,578, as of Saturday.

The drop in daily cases came as testing levels also further decreased, though the positive test rate fell to 8.8 percent.
The death toll stood at 4,326, with 81 fatalities recorded Friday. The ministry said there were 76783 active cases, with 1,844 patients hospitalized for COVID-19. Of those, 1,171 were in serious condition, with 335 on ventilators.
On Thursday, the Health Ministry had announced it was allowing the inoculation of high school students aged 16-18, subject to parental approval. The vaccination of the teens is intended to allow them to return to schools and take their winter “bagrut” matriculation exams on schedule.

The country’s largest HMO, Clalit, was already giving teens shots as of Saturday morning, its website said, while the three smaller health maintenance organizations in Israel were due to kick off their campaigns later.
Israel began administering vaccines on December 20, beginning mainly with health professionals and quickly proceeding to the elderly, sick, and at-risk groups, continuously lowering the minimum age of those eligible to get the shot.
From Saturday, people aged 40 and up will also be allowed to get the vaccine.
According to the health ministry, as of Friday, nearly 2.5 million people had received the first of two doses, with 900,000 of them getting the second as well.
The country secured a huge stock of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and has pledged to share the impact data quickly with the US-German manufacturer.
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the swift vaccination campaign “will afford us the possibility of overcoming the coronavirus, of emerging from it, of opening the economy and getting life back to routine.”
