(WHDH) — CVS Health announced Wednesday that it is now offering COVID-19 vaccine appointments for kids as young as 12 at pharmacies across the country, including 389 locations in Massachusetts.
This comes as the Food and Drug Administration awarded the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine emergency use authorization for kids aged 12 to 15-years-old earlier this week.

Parental or legal guardian consent is required, and children must be accompanied by an adult, according to the release.
Even though appointments are no longer necessary to get vaccinated at a CVS Pharmacy, teens are encouraged to still sign up for one as they are only allowed to receive the Pfizer vaccine.
