The numbers show 20,600 people in the youngest age range have received one dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine and 408,963 people in the 15 to 24 age group have completed their vaccinations.
The younger age groups are also included in the state’s report that breaks down vaccination numbers for each county. According to that data, Orange County accounts for 1,885 of the vaccinated 12 to 14-year-olds and adjacent Osceola County accounts for 365.
Statewide across all age groups, 9,671,213 have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
The Pfizer formula was approved for children as young as 12 earlier this month and since then, many sites across the Sunshine State have been providing the doses to minors with parental consent. The two other formulas in the U.S., made by Moderna and Johnson & Johnson, are only available for adults.
