Pfizer Says Its COVID Vaccine Is More Than 90% Effective In Kids Ages 5-11 “Data submitted by Pfizer shows that a reduced dose of its COVID vaccine is extremely protective for kids ages 5 to 11.”
Depending on the FDA, shots for kids could start rolling out in a matter of weeks. If kids can start getting vaccinated in early November, some of the first to get their shots will be fully protected by Christmas, a thought that honestly brings tears to my eyes.
Pfizer posted its data online on Friday, and the FDA is expected to release its independent review of the data later in the day. An FDA advisory panel is set to publicly debate Pfizer’s data next week, and if it decides to authorize vaccines for younger kids, the CDC will then make a final decision on who should receive them.
Meanwhile, the country is ready for pediatric vaccines to roll out. More than 25,000 pediatricians and primary care providers across the country have signed up to begin inoculating children as soon as the vaccines are approved.
The Biden administration has also already purchased enough of Pfizer’s smaller dosed children’s vaccines to administer them to every child between the ages of 5 and 11 in the U.S. —
