"Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized the emergency use of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine for the prevention of COVID-19 to include children 5 through 11 years of age. The authorization was based on the FDA’s thorough and transparent evaluation of the data that included input from independent advisory committee experts who overwhelmingly voted in favor of making the vaccine available to children in this age group."

Key points for parents and caregivers:
- Effectiveness: Immune responses of children 5 through 11 years of age were comparable to those of individuals 16 through 25 years of age. In that study, the vaccine was 90.7% effective in preventing COVID-19 in children 5 through 11.
- Safety: The vaccine’s safety was studied in approximately 3,100 children age 5 through 11 who received the vaccine and no serious side effects have been detected in the ongoing study.
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices will meet next week to discuss further clinical recommendations.

FDA Authorizes Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine for Emergency Use in Children 5 through 11 Years of Age

There it is. Do we actually need to wait for the CDC before putting shots in arms? I’m reading they need to sign off before distribution."Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized the emergency use of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine for the prevention of COVID-19 to include children 5 through 11 years of age.

I think we have to wait till places allow it for under 12. CVS/Walgreens haven't updated yet to schedule for that age group.

CDC meets next week for clinical recommendations. They should be full steam ahead late next week if not Monday the 8th.

Too many layers. FDA should be enough.

I was off (again, lol) in my prediction that Canada would reach 90% of 12+ with at least one dose by the end of this month, but today the country did hit 89% of that age group, over 84% with both doses.
Usually?

If this is true then why is Pfizer not making any changes to vaccine or CDC asking for changes?

Because both Pfizer and Moderna are excellent. One is just a bit more excellent. It’s like Fastpass and Fastpass+. One has a little bit more Magic.

Those are like the vaccines coming out of China.
After the fact there is a heck of a clean up.

Likely depends on the place. We didn't for 12-15yos. The dosage will be different so supplies will have to catch up. At least that's the impression I got from our peds announcement. The 12+ had the advantage that doses were same as adults so they could quickly get them in. This is more like a Moderna booster where some locations had to wait on right syringes and such is my guess. But CDC approval isn't needed for many locations. If remember TX was getting shots in arms of kids the day FDA approved. We had ours scheduled 2 days after CDC stamped on day 3 IIRC

My understanding is based on numbers I've seen tge difference is statistically noticeable but practically not enough. Also unsure if age plays in since Pfizer got more. A few studies I have read show such little difference it doesn't matter but they vary so much. Booster results will be interesting to watch and see if timing makes a difference or not too

From what I’ve read, vials and needles ship out starting now so they’ll be ready for injections by 11/3 or 11/4. My state has said 11/4.
The materials are already packaged up.

I just watched a TN state senator argue for a bill to ignore the federal OHSA mandate when it comes down. They made it law no business can mandate vaccines because "it is a shot not a vaccine. It has to work 100% to be a vaccine and this shot does not".
They proceeded to pass the bill and a host of other pro covid bills....
I don't know how you can kill the disease with leaders like this

Sounds like what I have heard. So slight delay compared to 12+ just mostly due to supplies. Our ped has stated they are not scheduling yet but only start with patients anyway due to expected demand at first.
I shouldn't have laughed but I did.
Vaccination offers more protection against Covid than prior infection, a C.D.C. study suggests.
The study of 7,000 people found that unvaccinated people who had Covid were five times as likely to get infected again as fully vaccinated people who never had the disease.
