Pennsylvania teen finds loophole to get vaccinated without his parents' consent

Published January 27, 2022 at 11:52 AM CST

Montero wanted to get vaccinated but his parents said no. Pennsylvania law requires parental consent but he found an old Philadelphia regulation that allowed him to get vaccinated.

Nina Feldman of WHYY reports.
