Do not mandate an unapproved vaccine for children!
 

Comirnaty is NOT being administered in Virginia anywhere.  Therefore, there is STILL no approved vaccine available to Virginians per the August 23, 2021 letter issued by the FDA regarding the Pfizer and Comirnaty vaccines.  

Pfizer has been provided distribution and manufacturing rights for Comirnaty, but the vaccine being administered as Pfizer  in the US has NOT been approved.  The EUA for Pfizer was renewed August 11, 2021, 2 weeks prior to the Comirnaty approval.  

The FDA approval stipulates that both contain the “same ingredients and are interchangeable”, but again, meaning they are indeed 2 different vaccines.  If they’re interchangeable, then why not just approve Pfizer?

We should absolutely NOT mandate a vaccine that has not been approved, or tested against usage with other common vaccines per the Pfizer Safety Sheet.

I am fully vaccinated and am providing information that is available on the FDA, Pfizer, and Moderna websites.

I am far from a conspiracy theorist and a registered Democrat.  I am still stating that we should absolutely not mandate a vaccine that may have long term effects for our youth when it is statistically unnecessary per age related data from the CDC regarding this pandemic.

It is not only irresponsible, but “immoral and stupid” per the WHO, when there are over 50 countries who have not had adequate access to the vaccines for their high risk populations.

Our children are not statistically high risk or even a moderate risk.  There are obviously special cases and those can voluntarily get the vaccine if they do choose.
