Pfizer said it has formally requested emergency use authorization for its Covid-19 vaccine in children age 5 to 11.
US drugmaker Pfizer said Thursday it has formally requested emergency use authorization for its Covid-19 vaccine in children age five to 11.
"We're committed to working with the FDA with the ultimate goal of helping protect children against this serious public health threat," Pfizer said. "If there is approval or authorization, and a CDC recommendation, we are ready, we have the supply," White House Covid coordinator Jeff Zients told CNN following the announcement.
While younger children are less likely to develop severe cases, they can still become sick and transmit the virus to the general population.
