Faced with anti-vax parents, teens are helping each other get COVID shots

Ethan Lindenberger, 20, got his first dose three weeks ago and said doing so “could save someone’s life.” “Teens faced with this have to weigh things like, ‘I know vaccines are lifesaving, but I don’t want to become homeless,’” he told NBC News. “So I tell them, if you can’t have that loving conversation with your parents and you’re of age, weigh those consequences seriously.” “Don’t get yourself kicked out or seriously in trouble ... but, if you’re able to have that conversation, please get your shots as soon as possible,” he went on to say... Nearly all states require consent from a parent or guardian to administer a Covid-19 vaccine shot to children between the ages of 12 and 15, the group the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention approved for shots earlier this month, according to a recent CNN analysis.
