asks for emergency usage on kids 5-11 immediately. Is this a phucking joke now! What are the odds another surge in vaccinations, not viral mutations, cause the rise of the Mu mutation. Are people brain dead?
Just saw a 15 yr old test positive after a 2nd test. The kid had no symptoms, no heart inflammation on x-rays but they want to get him 2 dosages. I guess everyone is pretending his immune system didn't eradicate the infection. WTF!
Many parents and pediatricians are clamoring for protection for children younger than 12, today’s age cutoff for the vaccine made by Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech. Not only can youngsters sometimes get seriously ill, but keeping them in school can be a challenge with the coronavirus still raging in poorly vaccinated communities.
Pfizer announced in a tweet that it had formally filed its application with the Food and Drug Administration.
Now the FDA will have to decide if there’s enough evidence that the shots are safe and will work for younger children like they do for teens and adults. An independent expert panel will publicly debate the evidence on Oct. 26.
One big change: Pfizer says its research shows the younger kids should get a third of the dose now given to everyone else. After their second dose, the 5- to 11-year-olds developed virus-fighting antibody levels just as strong as teens and young adults get from regular-strength shots.
