HOUSTON — On Wednesday, the CDC gave the all-clear to use the Pfizer vaccine to vaccinate kids 12 to 15 years old.
Some of Houston's young teens received their first dose just moments after the announcement was made.
Memorial Hermann was ready with the vaccine as soon as the CDC gave the "OK."
The hospital opened its waitlist to the age group as early as Monday when the Federal Drug Administration authorized the vaccine for children ages 12-15.
