Children younger than 5 in the United States could begin receiving Covid-19 vaccinations this month or next if the US Food and Drug Administration moves quickly to authorize the shot for this age group.
Earlier this month, vaccine makers Pfizer and BioNTech initiated a request for the FDA to authorize their child-sized coronavirus vaccine for emergency use in the United States among children age 6 months to up to 5 years. If authorized, the tentative plan is to roll out about 10 million vaccine doses initially, according to a US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention document posted online.
The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine is already authorized for use in people as young as 5, and if authorized, this shot will be the first coronavirus vaccine available for the youngest children.
