Federal regulators could approve a COVID-19 vaccine for kids 5-11 years old in the next few weeks as the CDC tells states to request pediatric doses.
CHICAGO (WLS) — Federal regulators could approve a COVID-19 vaccine for kids aged 5 to 11 within the next few weeks. White House officials said they are working to meet an anticipated demand, announcing they have secured enough doses of the Pfizer vaccine for the country’s 28 million children in that age group. Dr. Julie Holland with NorthShore Evanston Hospital said shots could be in arms days after the FDA and CDC give the vaccine the green light.
