Pfizer's COVID vaccine could be life-changing for some kids: "We can take our life off of pause"
CBSN
Twenty-eight million school-aged children are now eligible to receive a mini dose of Pfizer's COVID vaccine shots, with vaccinations set to begin as early as Wednesday.
This comes a day after the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended the use of Pfizer's vaccine for children 5 to 11 years old. The jab will be a third of the size of an adult dose, with different colored packaging and a smaller needle.
The shots could be life-changing for children like 10-year-old Ella Conrad, who hasn't seen her friends in nearly two years because she suffers from ulcerative colitis, an autoimmune disorder.
