VACCINE FOR KIDS: Children 6 months to 5 years old are one step closer to receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine after the company officially submitted the two-dose regimen to the FDA for emergency approval.
Kids between the ages of 5 and 11 are now eligible to get the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.
Rather than trying a higher-dose shot for the preschoolers, regulators encouraged Pfizer-BioNTech to add a third dose to the study on the belief that another dose would boost the vaccine's effectiveness much like booster doses do in adults. Allowing young kids to be vaccinated with a two-dose shot earlier would ultimately accelerate when they could get the expected stronger protection from a third dose.When could young children potentially get the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine?
