I think you have 14 days to book? Check the SMS. Mine said the booking link will expire after 14 days. After that, can register again & wait for SMS again. I literally dilly dallied till the 14th day & made a last-minute decision to book a next-morning appt since DH would be around to monitor my symptoms.

Not sure about the kids.

Can anybody point me to how many 12-15 year olds were actually in the clinical trials in the US for the Pfizer vaccine? All I can find is 2,260. How many more have had the jab in the US and Canada?

It looks like Singapore may well become the largest real world trial for this group. Congratulations. Keep fingers and toes crossed.

All the detailed demographic info for the US are here

https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccination-demographic

for ages
12-15 - 3,083,312 already received the first dose, 119,948 fully vaccinated.
16-17 - 2,786,276 already received the first dose, 1,877,652 fully vaccinated.

Are the side effects on teens 12-16 yo more severe than adults?

2,260 is all I can find for the Pfizer vaccine trial for kids (~half of these subjects received the placebo). For whatever reason, the U.S. CDC page does not appear to include the same demographic data for the trial with kids (vs. the trial with adults).

The Moderna trial for kids had 3,325 subjects in 2:1 ratio.

The Janssen (J&J) trial for kids is ongoing. Not sure how many kids are in this trial.

I think the following page has some demographic data on the % of people that have taken 1 or 2 doses. If you get the U.S. census data you can make some estimate of the actual number of kids that have taken the vaccine.

You can always wait till the year-end school holidays. The 6 weeks is long enough to recuperate from both jabs.

Let those who are O level, A level graduating batch take first and be the Guinea pigs if they wish.
