The vaccine is 90% effective at preventing symptomatic COVID-19, which they have experimented with for 2,268 children. They have already approved the Pfizer vaccine for children above 12 years.
Centers for disease control and prevention will give their recommendations to states next week. Once CDC approves, the vaccination will be available for kids below 12 years by November.
The U.S. president Biden and his administration had already announced that it had procured enough of Pfizer’s vaccine to 28 million children of its country below 12 years. It has planned vaccinations available free of cost at doctor’s offices, children’s hospitals, pharmacies, and school and community-based clinics.
Pfizer so far is the only vaccination that has been approved for all ages. Vaccinating kids is beneficial and will help keep kids in school and participate in the things they love. Children vaccinated with Pfizer are less likely to get infected and hence more likely to continue to participate with fewer interruptions in school attendance and other activities.
