Fox News
The Food and Drug Administration acted on Monday to expand Pfizer-BioNTech’s emergency use authorization for its COVID-19 vaccine to include kids ages 12-15.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is set to meet Wednesday, during which they will discuss the safety of Pfizer-BioNTech’s vaccine in kids ages 12-15. According to a draft agenda for the meeting, the committee will vote on a recommendation for administering the vaccine to this population, which then goes before CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky for final approval. Walensky has previously said that the agency would move quickly to "make this available" following the FDA’s authorization.More Related News
