Pfizer submits Vaccine data for 5 year-olds…
[CitizenFreePress] Pfizer-BioNTech have submitted trial data to the FDA for their Covid vaccine to be used in children as young as 5.

The companies said the trial, which produced "positive topline results," included 2,268 participants in the 5 to 12 year age category. The company said the vaccine in this study performed similarly to a previous study for people 16 to 25 years.

The vaccine is already authorized for children age 12 and older, and it took about one month for regulators to approve it after the companies formally filed for emergency-use authorization.

Children face a much lower risk of severe disease but experts point out that more than a quarter of the reported weekly Covid cases in the U.S. are in children under the age of 18, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.
