US: COVID-19 Vaccines Have Been Approved for Kids. Now What? (Commentary)
HUB (Johns Hopkins University) – November 04, 2021
U.S. children aged 5 years and older are now eligible for COVID-19 vaccinations after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention signed off Tuesday on the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine that the Food and Drug Administration authorized for emergency use last week. Vaccinations for children ages 5 to 11 are expected to begin immediately, potentially preventing 600,000 cases of COVID-19 by March of next year, according to CDC modeling. But now that federal approval is secured, the vaccine-and vaccine mandates in particular-may also become a new flash point of debate in a nation polarized by pandemic policies, says William Moss executive director of the Johns Hopkins International Vaccine Access Center and vaccinology lead for the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center.
