When will children receive covid-19 vaccines?
Scientists say probably after we know more about how adults respond to the vaccines.
The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are for adults only.
“The vaccines have not been tested on people under the age of 16, so we really don’t know how the kids are going to respond,” said Dr. Barry Ramo. 
Even if the vaccine was approved for kids, they would probably still be low on the waiting list.
“They have a very robust immune reaction,” Ramo said. “The younger you are, the lower your risk.
“It’s important that teachers get vaccinated so they can be protected. The biggest concern about sending kids back to school is not that the kids are going to get it but really that the teachers will get it.” 
Pfizer became the 1st vaccine trial to include US children when it began. 
Moderna announced that the first adolescent patients were dosed in the latest phase of its vaccine trial.
According to the company, participants ages 12 to 18 received doses in which they expect to enroll 3,000 people in the same age group.
