FDA Authorizes Pfizer Covid-19 Vaccine for Children 5-11
By Radiant HealthPublished: October 31, 2021

Vaccination for this age group is anticipated to begin as early as next week. Moderna said last week that a low dose of its vaccine is effective in children 6-11 and could be available in a few weeks. However, the company is yet to submit its data to the FDA for review.
