Emergency authorization for Covid-19 vaccines in children under 12 could come in midwinter, a Food and Drug Administration official said , a move that could bring relief to many parents who have been unable to vaccinate their children. The agency hopes to then move quickly to full approval of the vaccine for this age group.
One sticking point for some families who remain hesitant, the official said, is that the vaccines currently in use are administered under emergency use authorization and have not been given full approval by the FDA.
Full approval, if it comes quickly after the emergency round, could alleviate that concern.
Covid-19 vaccines have only been authorized for people ages 12 and up in the U.S. None has received full approval yet.
Both Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech launched trials of their Covid-19 vaccines for kids under 12 in March.
The regulatory agency is asking for four to six months of safety follow-up data for kids under age 12, the FDA official said.
That data could make granting full approval easier.
Pfizer and Moderna have applied for full licensure of their vaccine for adults 18 and up. The FDA official said granting full approval for adults is the agency's highest priority.
Pfizer said in a statement to NBC News it anticipates results on its clinical trials in kids ages 5 to 11 sometime in September, and then could apply for emergency use authorization. "Data for kids 2 and under 5 could arrive soon after that," the company said, adding that results on kids ages 6 months up to 2 years may not be released until October or November.
A safe and effective vaccine for children is an important tool in stopping the spread of Covid-19, especially with the rapid rise of the more transmissible delta variant.

"I can't imagine, except maybe for the 6- to 11-year-olds, that we're going to have too much data before the late fall," Creech said.
Results on kids 5 years old and younger may take longer, he added.
Why ain’t all the tykes under 12 dead already?

Something really odd is going on:
In Europe we are seeing surges at many places where most of the population has already been vaccinated.
At the same time, the 15 least vaccinated countries don‘t seem to face any problem.
At some point, denying this problem will get painful

OH BOY, SYRINGES YAYYYYYYY!!!
Since this will primarily be lefttard kids getting unnecessary jabs it will be lefttard parents dealing with the unknowable consequences.
these bastards really want to kill us all..
if they were smart they would give the kids saline shots, no kid will contract covid subsequently, or side effects, and they can decalre a victory
Why do you have to vaccinate kids...they do not get real sick or die...
All these doctors should find new jobs ....
Hmmmm.
It's interesting, every so often, to read something ABSOLUTELY INSANE!!!
It is not the kids fault that their parents are idiotic leftists.
Giving Covid vaccines to kids is child abuse.

“Vaccinations only prove that you can inject someone
with highly acidic toxic poisonous chemicals and that person
hopefully surviving the debilitating side effects, such as multiple
sclerosis, lesions on the brain, paralysis, breakdown of the red
and white blood cells, ulcerations of the liver, lung, kidney, pancreas,
stomach and bowels, seizures and death. Vaccinations provide
zero immunity. True immunity that leads to health and fitness
can only be achieved by making healthy lifestyle and dietary choices.”
at what time in history have govt connived to force exp. injections on people without blinking and eye....
we know of the deaths....we know of the side effects....we've been warned about the future...
and now they want to end our whole families, grandma down to the babies....
shame.....utter shame....if you let this happen.
