Fauci Sees Pfizer Vaccine Approval For Young Kids By End Of October
HuffPost
Pfizer and BioNTech plan to seek Food and Drug Administration emergency use authorization for their COVID-19 vaccine in kids ages 5 to 11.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, said the country would “hopefully” begin vaccinating children as young as 5 by the end of October, a significant milestone in efforts to control the COVID-19 pandemic.
Fauci made the comments Tuesday morning, shortly after Pfizer and BioNTech said they had submitted data to the Food and Drug Administration showing their coronavirus inoculation was safe and effective in kids ages 5 to 11. The companies have said they plan to apply for FDA emergency use authorization in the coming weeks.
In an interview with MSNBC, Fauci stressed that the FDA would “very seriously” consider the data to ensure the Pfizer jabs were safe and effective in kids, and hoped it would soon be approved.
