The weekly number of 12- to 15-year-olds receiving a first dose of COVID-19 vaccine rose slightly, but the age group’s share of all first vaccinations continues to drop, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
the CDC reported on its COVID Data Tracker site.
As of July 5, not quite one-third (32.2%) of 12- to 15-year-olds had received at least one dose of the vaccine and 23.4% were fully vaccinated. For those aged 16-17 years, 44.5% have gotten at least one dose and 35.9% are fully vaccinated. Total numbers of fully vaccinated individuals in each age group are 4.9 million (12-15) and 3.4 million (16-17), the CDC said.
Looking at another measure, percentage of all vaccines initiated by each age group over the previous 14 days, shows that the decline has not stopped for those aged 12-15. They represented 12.1% of all first vaccines administered during the 2 weeks ending July 4, compared with 14.3% on June 28 and 23.4% (the highest proportion reached) on May 30. The 16- and 17-year olds were at 4.6% on July 4, but that figure has only ranged from 4.2% to 4.9% since late May, based on CDC data.
The numbers for full vaccination follow a similar trajectory. Children aged 12-15 represented 12.1% of all those completing the vaccine regimen over the 2 weeks ending July 4, down from 16.7% a week earlier (June 28) and from a high of 21.5% for the 2 weeks ending June 21. Full vaccination for 16- and 17-year-olds matched their pattern for first doses: nothing lower than 4.2% or higher than 4.6%, the COVID Data Tracker shows.
