The panel of experts that advises the North American drug regulator, the FDA, has given its approval to the recommendation of the Pfizer / BioNTech and Moderna Covid vaccines for children from six months to five years. Following the decision this weekend by the CDC panel, the vaccine for infants and preschoolers is expected to be available this Monday.
The FDA’s committee of vaccine experts, which yesterday also ruled on vaccination with Moderna for adolescent children aged 6 to 17 years, has also decided by unanimous vote to recommend emergency authorization for the vaccination.
