Pfizer-BioNTech said Tuesday they submitted data to the Food and Drug Administration showing their vaccine to be safe and effective in children aged 5 to 11. An official request for the vaccine to be given to that age group will be made in the coming weeks. An FDA official previously said an authorization could come “in a matter of weeks, not months.” About 28 million U.S. children between 5 and 11 would become eligible for the shot, if approved.

Earlier this week, an Arizona judge ruled the state’s ban on public school mask mandates was unconstitutional.
