FILE – In this Sept. 14, 2021, file photo, a syringe is prepared with the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine at a clinic at the Reading Area Community College in Reading, Pa. Companies with at least 100 workers will be required to give employees paid time off to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and paid sick leave if they have side effects from the shots. That’s according to a Biden administration official who spoke Monday, Nov. 1, about pending vaccine-mandate rules from OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. (AP Photo/Matt Rourke, File) Pfizer ya está empacando y enviando millones de dosis a todo el país. Hoy el sistema de salud Lee Health le dijo a Noticias Wink que van a ofrecer la vacuna, pero todavía no saben cuando y dónde la estarán administrando. NCH dice que ellos no ofrecen la vacuna Pfizer, solo administran Johnson y Johnson, y esa no ha sido aprobada para menores de edad. Unos 28 millones de niños menores de 12 años son elegibles para recibir la vacuna. “Será una tercera parte de la dosis pero aún es una serie de dos inyecciones separadas por un tiempo de 3 semanas”, dice Dr. Ofer Levy, miembro del Comite Asesor de la FDA. Los posibles efectos secundarios incluyen dolor en el brazo, fiebre, fatiga y dolor de cabeza. “Yo creo que sean los que sean los efectos secundarios que veamos, realmente tienen que ser comparados contra los riesgos de no obtenerla. Más de 8.300 niños en este grupo de edad han sido hospitalizados debido al Covid-19. Una tercera parte de ellos terminaron en cuidados intensivos”, dice Dr. Leana Wen, ex-comisionada del sistema de salud de Baltimore. Los niños componen un número desproporcionado de nuevos casos Covid-19. En la última semana cuentan con un cuarto de los nuevos contagios en el país. Pero los expertos de salud creen que esta vacuna cambiará eso. “Si tenemos vacunas seguras y efectivas, ¿por qué no darles la oportunidad a las familias de que tomen la decisión y protejan a sus hijos?” dice Levy. Walgreens anunció que comenzarán a administrar la vacuna Pfizer a niños de 5 a 11 años, en ciertas farmacias a nivel nacional a partir de este domingo. CVS confirmó que tendrán la vacuna disponible también en ciertas tiendas también a partir del domingo. Ambas cadenas ya habilitaron citas. Publix dijo que en cuanto reciban las vacunas comenzarán a administrar vacunas. Aún no han habilitado citas. Walmart no ha dicho si van a ofrecer las vacunas para niños de 11 años.
