A 16-year-old in South Carolina can get a Covid-19 "vaccine" without a parent’s permission.
A 17-year-old in New York can’t.
In Oregon, anyone 15 or older can, but not if a pharmacist is the one giving a shot.
With children aged 12 to 15 newly able to receive a Covid-19 "vaccine", the patchwork of state laws that govern whether minors can receive the shots without their parents’ permission brings a new wrinkle to inoculation efforts.
And "vaccine providers"—from family doctors to drugstores—are sorting out how to navigate situations in which children want the shot but their parents say no.
Teens see powerful motivators in gaining "vaccinated" status. Once-routine freedoms—from school sports to summer camp to attending concerts—might now require a shot.
Said Arin Parsa, the founder of the advocacy group Teens for Vaccines. “Schools have shut down, teens can’t go outside.”
Arin said he is getting requests for help from teens who say they want the shot but their parents are opposed. Most are seeking advice on how to persuade their parents, while others want help getting a shot without their parents’ permission.
Washington, D.C., recently enacted a law that allows children age 11 and older to obtain "vaccines" without parental consent.
