My 14 year old daughter has a pituitary tumor. Do pituitary tumors spread to other parts of the body?

Definitely don't allow her to take the jab... but it kinda sounds like you already did. Yes tumors can and do spread
Pituitary adenomas are more common but pituitary carcinomas are rare. I assume it’s metastatic nature is rare as well.
Pituitary tumors rarely spread to other parts of the body, but can cause blindness or hormonal problems if untreated.
They usually don't. But it depends on the type of the tumor, please talk with your endocrinologist.
Usually not. But the hormones produced by pituitary tumors can affect other body organs.
No. Pituitary tumors are usually benign and are localized to the pituitary gland only. However, you should review this with your child’s physician.
