Actor Matthew McConaughey said Tuesday that he does not support mandating coronavirus vaccinations for his children despite the Food and Drug Administration last week authorizing the Pfizer-BioNTech's shot for emergency use in kids ages 5 to 11.
He said at The New York Times's DealBook summit that he "couldn't mandate having to vaccinate the younger kids" and that he still wants to "find out more information."
The 52-year-old noted that, "as of right now," he would not have his children get the vaccine. He and his wife have three children, ages 13, 11 and 8.
McConaughey also pointed out that while he is not against vaccinations and that he himself has received the shot, he does not support a mandate.
McConaughey, who said he received the vaccine because his 90-year-old mother is immunocompromised, said he has "quarantined harder" than his friends and that his family used a "heavy amount" of coronavirus testing during the pandemic.
"I'm in a position though where I can do that, and I understand that not everyone can do that," he said.
The Academy Award-winner also spoke on the new abortion ban in Texas, where he hinted at a possible run to be the state's next governor.
