Children under the age of 5 could get their Covid 19 shots by the end of this month, a top US government official announced, reported DW. Dr. Ashish Jha, Biden’s Covid 19 response coordinator, said children could receive their shots by June 21, but it depended on the federal regulator’s authorization. Experts from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are set to meet between June 14-15 to discuss BioNTech-Pfizer and Moderna Covid vaccine doses for children from 6 months onwards. Children between 6 months and 4 years are the only ones yet to be approved for Covid vaccines, reported DW.
The doses would be shipped to doctors’ offices nationwide only after the FDA approves them. “Our expectation is that within weeks, every parent who wants their child to get vaccinated will be able to get an appointment,” Jha said. The timelines provide an opportunity for parents to get their children fully vaccinated by the beginning of the next school year in the US. “At the end of the day we all want to move fast, but we’ve got to get it right,” Jha said, as reported by DW.
