Because its EUA is for those 12-15 and approved for label usage, which is 16+. Yes, as crazy as it sounds, it can be both approved for 16 and older and under emergency usage for 12-15. I think you're getting hung up on the word "fully". They're not talking about ages when they say "fully".

The FDA granted the EUA for ages 12-15 after it was already on the market for 16 and older. So I would expect FDA approval for ages 12-15 to be following soon, once they reach whatever time frame they were using for the approval for 16+.

Please note: just because I understand the basics of how FDA approval and EUA work doesn't necessarily mean I agree with their usage.

I just don't want people to look uneducated when they try to tell normies this stuff.
