Pfizer’s COVID-19 Vaccination Has Been Cleared for Use in Children 5 to 11 Years-Old

A CDC panel unanimously endorsed Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine for use in children 5 to 11 years old. Final approval rests with the CDC director. During a news conference, Dr. Jennifer Watts, of Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, says having the vaccine available to children would be a huge opportunity.

 

 

The FDA says it needs more time to study Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine for kids 12 to 17 years old.
