GREENVILLE, S.C. (WSPA) – Teens in South Carolina ages 16 and over will be eligible to schedule an appointment to receive their COVID-19 vaccine starting Wednesday.
Nick Davidson, senior deputy for public health said health officials are now seeing an uptick in COVID-19 cases in the 15 to 34 age range.
A few of the contributing factors include spring break and an overall increase in traveling among this age group.
“Case counts are not continuing to decrease. Spring break and spring travel are also part of that equation,” Nick Davidson, senior deputy for Public Health at South Carolina DHEC said, “We’ve seen a swing [in cases] to some of the younger people ages 15 to 34 and some significant decreases in clusters in licensed facilities such as nursing homes and those type of facilities.”
According to Brandi Giles, vaccine clinic organizer at Bon Secours St. Francis, the sign up process for teens at their clinic will be the exact same as it has been since the start of the vaccine rollout. Giles also emphasized that the only vaccine that’s available for teens right now is the Pfizer vaccine.
“The scheduling is the exact same as it is for the rest of the community which is through our call center. They can start scheduling those appointments on Wednesday,” Giles said.
According to DHEC, Section 63-5-340 of the South Carolina Code of Laws grants teens over the age of 16 years old the authority to make their own decision on whether to get the vaccination or not.
Bon Secours said they’ll will be extending their vaccine clinic hours in preparation for this new influx of patients.
“We have extended our hours,” Giles said, “We were 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. last week. This week is our first week [open from] 8 a.m. until 7 p.m.”
Giles said the vaccine clinic will be open every third Saturday beginning after Easter weekend until the month of June.
I rather they be tested for antibodies....cuz I bet half of them had it.
Lawyer Question:
If teens are not adults and unable to enter into agreements, if they accept the shot and complications occur, are any indemnifications invalid?
First thing I thought was abortion of course
Teen consent
But basically left us or about both vaccines and abortions
‘Specially without the parents permission - they really love that
In many ways kids at 16 are more immature than in earlier generations while Liberals keep giving them more legal abilities to circumvent their parents, and simultaneously those same Liberals want to hold parents - or nobody - responsible when the kids break the law. The twisted “logic” of Liberalism.
The push to get people to take the vaccine is strong. And the propaganda has the sheep feeling like lottery winners taking the vaccine.
Something just doesn’t seem right in all of this.
This is crazy. For kids the chances of death from covid are darn near zero.
And the govt saying parental approval is not needed? What the ever loving F!
WHY THE INCESSANT PUSH FOR THIS VACCINE?!?!?!
The pic is missing
“What’s the point in going on? It only has a 99.7% survival rate!”
(note, on numbers, YMMV - I was trying to remember the pic)

Something is coming (Editorial)

(perhaps “something” has arrived?)
That thread certainly showed up at an interesting time (for me).
My daughter who is an ARNP does some part time student health work for a local SC school district. The Wuhan flu positive rate done by swab is less than 5 percent. Yet STDs test out at 10%. Go figure. That and all though the antibody test is the gold standard, the local hospitals use the PCR.
Hey, WHO has a pamphlet for this!

Figures, eh?
Depraved. Another act solely intended to weaken the family.
No surprise. The government already lets them lop off their Willies without telling their parents they now have a daughter instead of a son. Girls can get an abortion. But the parents get the bill.
A little at a time and soon the government will make babies in vats and there will be no parents.
As I recall, a boy who joined the US Cavalry before he was a teen killed his first man while running away from the rebels. (When the news got out, he was de-enlisted but kept on at the encampments.) A southern officer, who was cutting men down with his sword while on horseback yelled to the running boy to drop his rifle. The boy turned and fired, knocking the rebel off his horse. As I recall, he retired as a general at some point in the early twentieth century. Kids today are nothing compared to the kids who were the man of the house while dad went off and died in the wars.
Exactly!!! In light of all the unbelievable things that have gone on lately the whole push for vaccinations just stinks to high heaven. I am totally open to solid medical evidence and facts. I keep looking for any valid reasons to get experimental vaccines, with possibly known and unkown adverse effects, to combat a virus that does not pose much risk of a threat to me.
If they are doing this, why not just have the nurse give them out. The schools should all partake in giving the shots. Cuts down the lines elsewhere.

I’m amazed at the number of freepers who want to present themselves as being all in favor of vaccination, just not this vaccine. Reminds me of the gun-banner say they’re against gun bans but really aren’t.
