The White House said Wednesday that the COVID-19 vaccine regime for kids younger than 4 years old will likely be three doses when it’s approved — and vowed to make millions more hard-to-find Pfizer anti-viral pills available in coming months.
Two clinical trials of the Pfizer vaccine on children ages 6 months to 2 years old, and ages 2 to 4 are underway, but the older group hasn’t yet met standards, White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci said at a press conference.
“Dose and regimen for children 6 months to 24 months worked well, but it turned out the other group from 24 months to 4 years did not yet reach the level of non-inferiority, so the studies are continued,” Fauci said, referencing effectiveness standard comparison to adults.
“It looks like it will be a three-dose regimen. I don’t think we can predict when we will see it [approved],” he said — adding he can’t speak for the Food and Drug Administration.
“We need to be patient,” he said. “That’s why the system works. The FDA is very scrupulous in their ability and in their effort to make sure that, before something gets approved for any age, and especially with children … that they will be safe, and that they will be effective.”
Meanwhile, White House officials promised to release millions more Pfizer antiviral pills by June, amid reports that the medicine has been difficult to find in recent weeks.
“We’ve purchased 20 million treatment courses of the Pfizer pill and we accelerated delivery of the first 10 million from September to the end of June,” said White House coronavirus response coordinator Jeff Zients.

RE: Today the news reported that a child under 10 had just died of Covid in both MD and VA
Every death is a tragedy. I do not want to downplay the deaths of these 2 children.
But we have to look at this in perspective. First, let’s ask - how many children die of the flu each year?
Let me answer that for at least the 2019 flu season:
https://www.cdc.gov/flu/spotlights/2019-2020/2019-20-pediatric-flu-deaths.htm
The total number of flu deaths in children reported to CDC for that season was 188.
Did we force flu vaccinations on children then?
The dose for children 6 months to 4 years is 3 mcg which is a tenth of the adult dose or 30% of the dose for 5-11 year olds. As soon as the FDA approves the Pfizer vaccine, my 22 month old son will be getting his first vaccination.

Worse than I thought - thanks null.
It is certainly a wonder this dwarf is still walking among the living and an upset parent, spouse, family member of a loved one that has been killed by his shot hasn't removed him from this mortal coil. But, it keeps pushing buttons that kill so it's probably just a matter of time till some of these shot pushers get their dues.
