Dr. Anthony Fauci says the FDA may wait to review Moderna and Pfizer vaccines for kids under 5 at the same time, possibly in June.
CHICAGO -- With summer around the corner, doctors are getting more and more questions from anxious parents who hope to get their young kids vaccinated before vacations and summer camps.
But that sense of urgency took a hit this week. Dr. Anthony Fauci said there is a possibility the Food and Drug Administration may review both Moderna and Pfizer vaccines for kids under 5 at the same time, possibly in June."What the FDA wants to do is get it so we don't confuse people to say this is the dose, this is the dose regiment for children within that age group," Fauci said.Moderna is a two-dose regiment, while Pfizer will take three doses.
Muller conducted the Moderna trials for kids under 5 at Lurie Children's Hospital. He said if Moderna data is ready to be reviewed, the FDA should do it as soon as possible, so kids can be fully vaccinated for the summer. He believes the FDA should let parents and their physicians sort out the confusion.
