CDC advisory panel recommends COVID-19 vaccines for kids ages 5-11
Fox News
Vaccine advisors for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) voted Tuesday that children ages 5-11 should get COVID-19 vaccines.
Last week, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized emergency use for kid doses, which are about one-third of the dose given to adolescents and adults. The vaccine is already approved for emergency use in children 12-15 years old.
Tuesday's move means that as many as 28 million more children could be eligible for vaccinations as soon as this week.
