For kids who turn 12 in early November, have you seen any guidance yet from Pfizer or the CDC/FDA/NIH/AAP/whoever provides that sort of info about whether they should get the adult or pediatric dose?

Barring something changing (always possible) it will be a simple, hard line at 12. 11 years 364 days, you get the pediatric dose, 12 years 0 days, you get the adult dose. It does not really make sense, but we do this a lot. (If you get your MMR at 11 months 27 days, it does not count. If you get it at 12 months, 0 days it does, for example.) I am convinced it is largely around bookkeeping, so there is as little gray zone as possible. But is is SOP, and I suspect it will be that way here as well.

In a related medical situation, I was one month shy of a major birthday at the birth of one of my kids and so when the nurse asked me my age I joked that I was basically already that higher age, but she shut me down right quick: if she put that on my chart, there were a whole lot of extra medical interventions that would be instituted, and I would have a lot less leeway in making choices if anything seemed to be amiss. It was one month, but as you say, having no gray area is important so that everyone knows what the protocol is without confusion.

Ugh⌠classic âhow to deceive with graphicsâ, making the âzeroâ line not zero. Ontario 
does the same thing: the base of the daily plot on the official site is currently at 400 cases.

itâd be interesting to also see that broken down by eligibility.
i couldnât find anything that counted the number of people 12 and under. but found one for age 14. in us 18% of the population is under that age, and in japan 12%, so we might still be ahead of themâŚ
but not by much, and not for long iâm sure.
