FDA Advisory Panel Recommends COVID-19 Vaccines for Young Children

HeadlineJun 16, 2022

An advisory panel to the Food and Drug Administration has unanimously recommended approval of Pfizer and Moderna’s vaccines for babies and young children. The FDA could authorize the vaccines as soon as Friday, which means shots could be available beginning next week for the first time for children under the age of 5. States have already ordered millions of shots, but there has been one exception: Florida has not yet preordered any COVID shots for kids.
