WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. health officials on Tuesday gave the final signoff to Pfizer’s kid-size COVID-19 shot, a major expansion of the nation’s vaccination campaign.

The Food and Drug Administration already authorized the shots for children ages 5 to 11 — doses just a third of the amount given to teens and adults. But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends who should receive FDA-cleared vaccines.
The announcement by CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky came only hours after an advisory panel unanimously decided Pfizer’s shots should be opened to the 28 million youngsters in that age group.
Millions of shots made by Pfizer and its partner BioNTech have already been shipped to states, doctors’ offices and pharmacies, to be ready for CDC’s decision.

That’s the same reason the the Biden administration ordered 28 million doses before it was approved.
Because we all knew it would be approved.
Who exactly is on the “panel”? I bet no one with young kids (similar to the fat, green haired women who march for abortion rights). Just follow the money. Several more billion of tax payer dollars headed towards the drug makers for more vaccines shots.
I’m not sure who in the right mind will vaccinate their kids against a virus that has almost a zero percent chance to harm your child… i guess it would be someone utterly naive, misinformed or a drunken Pfizer supporter…
Sorry we ain’t jabbing our kids even if its a mandate and we ain’t closing our schools. Kids are low risk & low spreaders. and BH unlike the spanish flu or small pox they rarely get anything serious. Adults who never had covid should get the jab
